quote from Snowgoer
Gone for 2019 are all Apex, Vector, Venture and Phazer snowmobiles; in fact, the only Yamaha-built Yamaha in the brand’s 2019 North American lineup is a utility machine. Also MIA for 2019 are all but one M-TX, B-TX and SXViper, and all Sidewinders with 129-inch tracks.
But don’t think that this is Yamaha’s first step toward leaving the snowmobile industry – company officials stressed that it has recently added to its staff at its Wisconsin-based snowmobile R&D center, on top of investments in Japan."
