Where did this info go ? Any truth to this?
Is Yamaha still suing Cat ???
- Thread starter flying frenchman
- Start date
Cat called the Wambulance...
I started cleaning crapers and worked my way up to thee top HVAC Job in my CO. I deal with surprise, Billionares, Yamaha can change this in a flash, they the family are worth Billions, This will be a short lived marriage. Ive only been with my trade for 30 years and privy to a lot of board room talk. If it does not make money and there is no sales of any real value it's over! Sorry Chris it may go another year or two but any law suit of any kind is not good for us. But I hope I'm wrong and will eat a cat turd if I'm wrong.:face-icon-small-coo
Nope.
Not a peep out of anyone.
But I am having a very hard time verifying any of it, and if it was true then I SHOULD have been able to locate a record of filing with a court, and I can't. So I pulled my thread.

I worked for a Yamaha dealer in Idaho as a kid. You have to understand the Japanese mentality, Yamaha knows they are not going to make any money on snowmobiles and have not for a while. Its about NOT failing. Do not expect Yamaha snowmobiles to go away anytime soon because stopping production after the company promised they would remain will not happen.

On the contrary, since Yamaha isn't actuall producing the sled at all, it would be quite simple for them to pull the plug. The Yammicat is built by Arctic Cat in Arctic Cats facility.... Not much skin off their teeth really.

Yamaha has sleds for only one reason. To supply their northern Yamaha powersports only dealers (world wide) with something to put on the showroom floor in the winter. It was a promise back when they started to force dealers to drop off brands.
The advent of these side by side vehicles and their winter sales will probably have more effect on future Yamaha investment in sleds more than the profit or lack of with current sled sales.
If the dealers are happy without sleds I think Yamaha would bow out anytime. I truly hope this doesn't happen.
If Cat was smart they would hold on tight to this marriage and bow and be polite in the Japanese way.

Cat needs to make this work, they could take a page or too regarding quality and apply it to their products. Seems like a good venture. It keeps the Yammi sled faithful on a decent, if not leading edge, machine and it bumps volume in Cats factory, good for eveybody.
Of course it remains to be seen if a Cat with Yammi graphics is going to be as well built as a real Yamaha....

At the end of the day when the saki wears off the exes at YamaCatSuki will all be singing the same tune...Show me the Yen.

It IS a business deal that brought them together in the first place.

And I'm sure that ALL the attorneys representing the parties involved have iron clad agreements that do not point fingers at any one holding them liable if the arrangement goes up in smoke.
