I love reading all these "expert" opinions....lol.
I believe Yamaha is doing the right thing...and while the critics will harp, and talk doom and gloom...it is the right thing to do at this time....we will see what the future brings...but I think Yamaha is here to stay

AC 2 stroke engine project was started long before your time line. Years. Yamaha sled from Japan is no more than wishful thinking. I won't step into that trap again. The AC built sled with Yami engines is what the future is. For how long??? Textron is going to produce there own 4 stroke engines eventually, imo. The engine production capability was a big part of that purchase. If AC/Yamaha would produce, a all new sled, with the chassis/engine combination designed from the get go, they will really have well balanced/handling snowmobile. That's what many had waited for Yamaha themselves to produce for too many years.

I am sure they knew the Suzuki supply line was in jeopardy beforehand, they've had a relationship as an engine supplier and partial ownership going way back to the 1970's. As for Textron and their own engines... That could be true, who knows but I can guarantee they will not even come close to the performance and reliability of a Yamaha 4s motor. Word has it Craig Kennedy has 2 years to turn the sled division around. Some feel it could be Arctic Cat in a few years who is gone.
