zeusand Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Not good either way, less competition more Monopoly... sleds will be $20,000 soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 "Lawsuits between the snowmobile factories is not uncommon — and often they are settled through negotiations where one piece of exclusive technology will be “traded” in exchange for the dismissal of a lawsuit based on a different piece of technology. A ruling this strong, though, is unusual. With appeals likely and negotiations still a possibility, it’s highly unlikely that the final chapter on this story has been written"... dooright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signfan Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Yep I foresee a alpha one ski doo mountain sled coming soon. Not much else CAT could offer. I wonder how it effects Yamaha. Can they sell into the cdn market on a Cat chassis this fall? PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signfan Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Probably doesn't effect the new smaller blast chassis they released either. That or a kitty cat and zr120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
