Yamaha is getting out of snowbusiness

[kickingfrog]

2025 will be the last year for production.

 

Earlier today, Yamaha Motor Co., the parent company of Yamaha Motor Canada LTD., released the notice below concerning the future direction of Yamaha’s Snowmobile Division.

 

Bottom Line? We’re here for another 2 riding seasons in Canada, and the 2024s are already in production. We will support you with parts, warranty and service for years after should you decide to buy a Yamaha snowmobile for the 2024 and 2025 model years.

 

We would like to thank our loyal customers for their passion towards snowmobile over the years and will celebrate the storied history of Yamaha snowmobiles together!

With the climate changing as it is, snow machines are not going to be a viable business soon.

Yes the writing is on the wall, less and less snow on the trails over the last years, better to get an ATV and get a set of tracks.

The only reason I sold mine, you can't go trail riding with it. I've got a modest 5100km on my ATV.

Wonder if it's time to give up my 05 Bravo?

Noooo, as long as you can find parts, I'd keep it.
