No ACb, I don't know anyone who works there, but I met a guy who worked on building it.

Are they going to offer tours or have some kind of open house???

Hey AC builder, one more question. After basically perfecting it in 06, why on earth discontinue the V2?????
My understanding is that AC wants the H1 to be the only 650. Both engines seem to fill the same role, and the H1 has surged in popularity.

Blowfish: The only engine AC builds in-house (for now) is the H1. However, from conversations with service, the 700 EFI seems to be rock solid; I hope they're right. I don't know enough about the guts in the Suzuki engines and cases to tell you if 26" rubber could pose a problem. If you have a decent dealer, maybe ask discreetly if they have seen transmission or driven shaft issues with oversized tires.
Id say another reason for the drop of the v2 is Suzuki owns about 35% of arctic cat, they have for the last few years been in a partnership also with kawasaki, using each others products( suzuki twin peaks aka kawasaki pararie and some motorcycles too) but 06 was the end of that partnership, so AC brought the models back to in house use of suzuki 400/500/700 motors and the H1 And the kymco line for their lttle units. I think they will see a reduction in sales as the V2 was their biggest seller since it came out in 04.
