with all them recalls..why would you buy a Cat.Local dealerships out here are screwed now,as word of these recalls have spread like wildfire.One dealership alone has 25 left over 2012 Cats to sell..and another has a bunch also.You should see the amount of Cats on sale in Kijiji now..they are in trouble for sure.If Yamaha merges with Cat..we we in BIG friggin Trouble.I am thinking Yamaha wants to get out of the sled business..maybe just make motors.But I don't think I would buy a 4 stroke Cat.Reason why we should all keep our Yami sleds now as things are changing for the worst.Just stock up on parts for the future.If Yamaha don't want to keep their name going,we riders at least can keep our old sleds going.If the trend keeps going,probably only come done to 2 manufacturers in the future as the demand for these expensive sleds are falling big time.Time was coming eventually for this as a lot of new comers just can't afford a $12,000 to $18,000 sled to ride on snow for only a few months of the year.Times have changed,jobs are harder to get..people concentrating on their mortgages and such first.
Remember when we were young..we could afford a new sled easily..not today.
