Yamaha F8 2026: The Current 8HP Twin-Cylinder Portable
The 2026 Yamaha F8 is the newest build of Yamaha’s 212cc SOHC two-cylinder four stroke — an engine with 7.5% more displacement than the previous F8 generation, delivering standout torque and smoothness in the 8HP class at under 90 lbs. The acceleration pump provides instant throttle response for planing, the intake silencer and streamlined manifold keep noise minimal, and the shorter tiller folds tight to the cowl for compact storage. F-N-R shifting, forward-mounted controls, a 6-amp alternator, carrying handles, resting pads, and on-side storage capability complete the package. It’s the freshest option in the mid-power portable class.
