Default Yamaha ATV Riders

Just was wondering what you Yamaha guys think of only have one motor to choose from for a ATV now.

I have been a Yamaha guy for a long time and I think this decision by Yamaha to eliminate all the different engines sizes is going to hurt them big time.

Just like their sleds with no 2 stroke option. When they went away from the 2 strokes they lost a lot of sales.

You can blame California for no more 2 stoke atvs. The state is also trying to pass a law on 1000cc or smaller for sxs.

The 450 Kodiak was a great unit.

like my grizzly in 700 a lot, but still a bad choice, no smaller quad to choose from (light weight). Lose a big chunk of the market looking for something smaller

I think it dilutes their brand alittle, and no smaller ATV's for the kids or missus who really don't want or need that amount of power.

That said, I can't wait for the 708!!
