That's always a bummer!

BMW just removed F650 (same engine) from next year too via BMW VP comments, which is how BMW 'officially' leaks product line news (so they can change it later if they have to, I suppose).

But Can-Am is the first to remove it from their sites product line. From now on, its EFI and V-twins or nothing. Performance guys will be dealing with used market 'only'; OR they will have to go back to school and INVENT things not on the market yet.

That's a d a m n shame!

No lie, not all of us want or need a 4x4 v-twin trail dog.

At least with the street bike convertion craz, there should be a good supply of used motors. Still sucks though.

Parts business must be good for DS650 Rotax engines. I know they assemble engines in Mexico now or before, but don't know where the parts are made from. ANYWHERE except China!! That is the ONLY reason I would be concerned.

I think they are trying to make sure all their old faithful customers have time to jump-ship before they release a new bike.

Maybe they'll get their SxS done right after everyone buys a RZR or Rhino.

Hate to be negative but, now long does it take???

Obviously, too long for me!
