Dolmar / Makita 81cc rumor for 2016

[CoreyB]

Well I got a juicy little rumor today that Makita is in the works of bringing a 81cc saw to market.
It will be based off of the 6100
I think that could be a really awesome saw. Have any of our AS Dolmar guys confirm or give better clarity to such a rumor?
Would you like to see a dedicated chassis strato 81cc saw?

I do wonder if @166 or @fordf150 would have any info on this rumor?

My Makita 6401 with BBK just may have encountered a stock version:

That's a 32" bar on board. The elm tree was about 75 years old.

If true that could be a heavy 81cc saw being a Strato version. I'm interested.

What a tease

Both of them lol worst then my first high school girlfriend.

I was really hoping to hear something along the lines of a 4205 a Jr 6100. There is still hope.

If true it might be Makita trying to ditch the 6400/7300/7900 line, with the 6400 basically already been replaced by the 6100.
Or they are trying to re-enter the high cc arena with a new saw line family.

I mostly don't bother with rumors, I believe it when I see it!

 

[VINIFIREWOOD]

There was some rumors not so long ago about a replacement for the 9010.
I think they could/should do that before replacing the 7910

Anyone want to place money on who is first to market out of 462, 572 and 8100?

It should make for some entertaining stuff.

My splitter is over in the corner curled up in a ball thinking about that Elm....

Isn't that where all "good rumors " come from?

 

[c5rulz]

So how much difference would there be from the 7900/7910?

I have a 7900 and it's a good saw, although doesn't have feel in the hands like a large Husky. It makes good power.

 

[CoreyB]

Well that was my question does the 7900 need any improvement? That is where he says think 6100. Fuel milage, air filtration, smoother, a bit lighter, and a bit more power and rpm?

I think rumors are just an open door for a little dreaming.
