Looks like the four stroke club will be devoid of a few members real soon...

My Yamaha outboard is a two-stroke.
I guess I'm on the cutting edge.

The two stroke is back. Just wait 'till the auto folks get ahold of the technology. Motors that weigh 100 lbs and put out two hundred horses, and get better fuel and emissions readings. At a dealer near you.

This can still be stopped if the big companies get the EPA to simply ban all 2-strokes without exception. Look for Honda to attempt this.

Your Yamaha HPDI (High Pressure Direct Injection) is actually more capable than the DI system in the article. Ten years ago, Yamaha was running their injectors at 750 PSI. The Bombardier system in the article is only at 500 psi. Higher pressure means better atomization, and that means more complete combustion. Cleaner, more fuel efficient, better power to weight ratio.
