Was at the local Honda/Suzuki checking on see if the 2007 bike I ordered was in yet. Would like to ride it a little before the real bad weather.
I was talking to one of the owners, they also sell Yamaha and Bombardier watercraft (summer cousins to snowmobile). We got talking about which engines we currently use and he asked me what are you guys going to do for new engines after 2008 when Bombardier is scheduled to stop making 2-Stroke CVT equipped Snowmobile's and all their models will by then be replaced with 4-Stroke CVT equipped engines. I said don't ask! This is a rather small shop but they had almost every model of Honda and Suzuki motorcycle. The only 2-stroke engine thing he had in the shop was one model of Yamaha Watercraft! Something to again think about. I would say if you go to a former NER f500 divers place of employment in Mass. where they sell many Bombardier Snowmobile's he would say the same thing. Not trying to get people pissed off, but time waits for no man and time is flying by us! We are several years behind the curve. Motocross is almost fully switched to 4-stroke bikes. Watercraft and outboard motors are not far behind! Starting to talk about it without everyone blowing a fuse is the only way for all you younger people to keep this class going. I and others are near the end of the game, but still care deeply about a class that has brought us so much fun and friendship for a reasonable price. Plus you can't put a price on all the great people we have met in person or talked to on this site! Everyone have a good and safe holiday season!

This is only about thinking about 4-stroke CVT equipped Rotax Snowmobile Engines even if it takes five (5) or more years of careful planning! ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
