Default RE: Future of Yamada Engines

YS has always had the mindset of bigger engines to make more horsepower, no surprises there. Bear in mind that the cost to build a 140 is essentially the same as it costs to build a 63. A little more materials cost but a very small amount more. Same labor to machine the parts and assemble the engine. They can sell the 140 at the wholesale level for 40% more than the 63. WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BUILD?

We have spoken with them at length about 2 strokes, gasoline, bigger, smaller, etc. etc. When they are convinced in their minds that it is right, it will become a viable product for their business.
