All I want from Yamaha is an answer, or better yet, a commitment that they are staying in the sled business for the next 10 years! Hell I will take 5 years! I really don't care, at this point, how long it will take to get a new updated model. Yamaha loyalists are use to waiting! We just need a...

Like I've been saying since the Textron buy out all I want is to have Yamaha promise their customers that they are in it for the long run. At this point I don't care how long it will take to get new product! We all have to much time and money invested in them to get the political corporate...

That's exactly how I see it too!

This is exactly what I see and it does hurt! The sponge will be squeezed long and hard enough to get every drop of water out of it for both Cat and Yamaha! Then they will both dry up and blow away off into the sunset!

That is what pisses me off! They say its just a thing they have to do for the future of the snowmobile division! Do they really think we are that stupid and can't see the writing on the wall? I understand if they got caught with their pants down with the Textron buy out of cat and didn't have...

Do you all believe Yamaha is in it for the long haul? I'm the doughting Thomas here! Please Mr. Tew tell me that Yamaha will be one of the last companies to go out of the market

Yeah but you have to get all the OEM's to do it! Yamaha folded its cards first! I'm not a poker player but aren't those the ones that are out of the game first?

Textron don't care about the snowmobile market either! Cat will follow Yamaha to extinction in the sled department! I hate big corporate!

I'm not blaming just Textron, in fact they seen an opportunity and took it! Yamaha should have seen this coming and somehow prepared for it! What bothers me the most is that Yamaha and Textron will talk out of both sides of their mouths to keep the faithful in the barn till they pull the plug at...

The thing is, unlike Polaris and Skidoo, they as a company don't really need to fill the void during the winter! Neither does Textron! Cat sleds will be gone to! In my eyes, the real reason they kept the Cat name on the sleds and changed atv products to Textron off road in the first place! They...

Yes it looks like the future, investing into North America, but like I've said I don't think they saw the Textron buy out of Artic Cat coming! I believe Yamaha is just fulfilling their side of the partnership until its over! Please tell me I'm wrong Mr. Tew!

So what do you think that is going to do to the price's of our beloved Yamaha sleds?

Cost to much to start up! If it isn't in the works already, its not going to happen! You are a 100% right, Yamaha got caught with their pants down when Textron bought CAT!

Exactly! Interesting I tried to buy a radius rod, silver in color, for my daughter's 2001 Phazer! Yamaha's reply, unavailable! I'm lucky my dealer buys up a lot of discontinued parts when he has the chance!

Customer loyalty Yamaha? Really? So the Scandinavia market gets a 2 stroke Yamaha, (I don't care if its a cat engine!) and the North American market gets we are a 4 stroke only company! What? Mr. Tew you said the customer first!? Why do you keep talking out of both sides of your mouth? Please...

So now this thread is the most important one! What is Yamaha's next step? IN or OUT? Please let us know sooner than later and stop playing with mine and I'm sure some others heads!

How long do you think Yamaha will make parts for their sleds!

I love your passion Travis and I'm right there with you! However this sounds like the typical big corp move! When the bean counters have to answer to the stock holders, this is what happens! I've been riding Yamaha's since 1982! I believe in three years you will only see Skidoo and Polaris in...

H With Textrons history, how long do you think Artic Cat will be around! Listen to lester's sneak peak for this Saturdays Supertrax TV episode. What he says about Yamaha now fits to what is happening. The bottom line talks and the bean counters have won at the negotiating table at Yamaha! Very...

I hate to say it but we are seeing the last of Yamaha snowmobiles and I'm not saying just the Japan built sleds. This is a sad day. I was afraid of this when Textron bought Cat!
