I owned a 750sx that had all the same mods as my superjet. They can produce good power and just as much as a superjet. No they are not heavy. That is a misconception based on OEM facts. In fact, I've never seen a SJ weigh in as light as my 750sx or even as light as advertised by Yamaha. However, the hull design on a 750sx is not very good. You may be able to do the tricks you are talking about with mods but the superjet is a far better platform to learn on. If you still decide to buy the 750, you won't hit the exhaust tube when you add footholds and you won't have to refoam the 750 either like you will with a superjet.

I wouldn't touch the Kawi 750 is freestyle is your goal. I had one for many years and have quite a bit of experience with them. The Kawi 750 motor has a different port timing than the Super Jet which produces more mid to top end power. For freestyle you want bottom end hit, which is what the Yamaha engine port timing is set up for. This, combined with the fact that a SJ is lighter is one of the main reasons every one wants a SJ for freestlye. When I had my Kawi, even after adding a pipe ($750.00) carb work ($300.00) Lightened flywheel ($400.00) Prop ($250.00) Bored nozel ($80.00) It still only hit about as hard as a stock SJ. Had I started with an SJ spent the same cash, I would have had a monster.

He is right about the power but I think the 750 is lighter! mine weighed 315 reinforced with full tank of fuel. User SXI4ever has one not reinforced and weighed less then 300 i think.
From experience I did everything to a 750 as well and did not get the power I wanted. Ended up putting a Yamaha motor in the 750 then it ripped! but the pump was still smaller then the SJ and wouldn't hook up as well as I wanted. I would just get a SJ for freestyle
