Yamaha Lightwieght 70hp 4 stroke!

[Dean1]

Well I found out this afternoon that Yamaha will be releasing a F70 in 2010 weighing in at around 120kg.

This is from a very reliable source and this will mean Yamaha will have the market sown up for this size motor!!

Gosh who would have known for all us F60 boys

And then theres the other bigger HP lightwieght 4 bangers Yamaha are producing, I think some dealers will be feeling quite threatened!

Glad i dont work in the outboard industry!!

Deano..

Yep its a 16 Valve version of the single cam 8 valve f60C. Same displacement and still utilises a single cam

More parts than a swiss watch in a 16v with one cam. Hope they get it right and it is long lasting as it would be a horror to redo a head outside a factory setting.
