As expected! So much for Yamaha coming out with something completely on their own. 

Sidewinder S-TX GT 2up Touring - $21,199 CDN dollars

Yammie is what it is.   I love my SW.   I'm just glad they are still around however I'd like to know if this is a year by year deal with Cat or was it redone for another 5.

They dropped at noon Eastern. Basically they ditched their mountain sleds, tweaked the front end on the diamond pounders, and bumped up power in the Vipers.

Pretty much BNG and not much else it seems. I honestly don't think, despite what Yamaha said 5 yrs ago, that too many are surprised they didn't come out with anything new or on their own. Threads on TY jokingly saying 2021 is the year now!

I hardly go to TY anymore but based on what I have heard about DT, I think TY is a lot more easy going and they definitely won't close threads down or delete them if there is anything negative said about them. Start with the language and that's a different story but critical threads/posts like this are fairly common. https://ty4stroke.com/threads/please-god-tell-me-this-isnt-the-same-for-north-america.156760/

my god, that baby powdery blue shit is gayer than 10 bags of dicks. and this is what yamaha called their limited edition models ?  Sad.

Yamaha  is still in a year by year deal with the Textron purchase of A.C.  Textron has been rumored to have reached out to Honda for engine R&D, but unconfirmed.

I wouldn't read much into $250K stock sale from an executive.
