I was given a honda 4 stroke, I use it, bit wouldn't buy another. The weight to power ratio is worse, its vibey and I dont really know how to work on it compared to two strokes.

 

sorry maybe its just me!

 

Nah it's not just you, I agree with all of those criticisms. I justify the power to weight because the sound isn't as annoying and the harness is good. Often wonder why they haven't added spring AV though since it's decent on their hedge trimmers.

I've not learned how a 4 stroke really works either, but that's a compliment to Honda's engineering to be honest: I've not needed to. If the engine won't run properly I rebuild the carb. If it still won't run properly then I check the plug and the valve clearances. That's kept the same machine doing some pretty heavy duty work for many years now.

I'm not sure to be honest. Think I learned of the Hondavarna's existence from a New Zealander or American on YouTube, so you may well be right on UK availability. I'd love to try one personally, seems like a great combination.
