Still very good engine..... sure is!
Best choice with what's available...... No, in my opinion,
If you are good with the 80SE's larger size and heavier install.... You might as well go with the 90Rxi. At least you get a little more thrust for the other disadvantages.
Heck.... it's not even the cheapest choice. I really can't see why you would buy a 80SE new from the factory in today's market.
