While I've never run radios off either one of them I have listened to them and the Yahama is very quite.. One or two DB's is less difference than you can hear.

I have been told, but have not been able to verify, that Yahama uses ball bearings and Honda Sleeve bearings, at least on the 1000 and 2000 models... Don't know about the 3000s I also like that the Yahama unit is not red.... You wonder what color has to do with it.. Simple... There are those who walk along and see an enclosed generator dressed in RED and they think "Oh, those Honda generators are valuable. I can pawn that for lots of drug money" but when they see a yellow one.. They do not get so excited. And thus yellow generators stick around longer.
