Sure, if you want to define a 'piano keyboard' as anything Yamaha SAYS it is, then I can quite legitimately say a tomato is a piano too! Because I just said it's so... why should FACTS get in the way? 
It is absurd to posit that ALL keyboards bigger than 61 notes are 'pianos'. It is patently obvious they are NOT.
The NP-V80 is a 76 note, light weight keyboard arranger. Calling it a 'piano' no more turns it into one that calling it a 'home organ', even though it has organ sounds in it. You have to give the Company Line a rest from time to time, Ian, and join the real world... 
Wow! I have to agree with Diki on this one.
