Morning all,

Thanks for the link Gadge. I get the distinct impression we are going to have a rubber stamp of the U.S. EPA standards in this country. 2018 is not far away.

Perhaps the decision to axe the 2 stroke has less to do with scotching the old Aussie competitor and more to do with dropping sales and the impending emissions standards. Let's face it, if the wanted to do away with it because it was a competitor they have had since 2008 to do it. Almost nine years.

Reality is that sales figures for them are dropping. And that'll have a lot to do with the cost per unit of the new range. The volume isn't there. And with emission standards coming....

Just a theory.

Cheers,
