Yamaha Canada now part of Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A.

it has always seemed crazy, two clothing lines, two warranties, two accessory books, two model books, even so far as yamaha usa was blue and canada red, different signage, shirts, etc... for what?

I spoke to a guy in the corporate booth at the Toronto show and he just said that for now it is simply an 'accounting move' and that everything is business as usual. Long term who knows, maybe this will make it easier to downsize and restructure if sales don't pick up.

The corporate kool-aid. I hope he doesn't believe it himself. Decisions come straight from Japan, not Canadians or Americans.

Sold more snowmobiles than motorcycles in Canada.

Yamaha sells seven to eight times the amount motorized equipment in the U.S. than Canada, counting all the bikes, atv's, rhino's, etc. Sorry to say, but true.

Your dreaming.... Then combining the 2 companies is a good thing.. The price of sleds should drop, clothing, accessories etc... Canada pays more duties and tarrifs coming straight from japan, then the U.S. does... i think you will be alot more consistency in the product line...
