Mudman, that's very true. I wasn't saying for sure that this would happen, only trying to come up with some ideas as to the new ATVs they'll be releasing.
Although, I still say, if this was just a general offer on Yamaha's part, why aren't the offering it for more than just those three ATVs?
Dunno... It just seems a little weird to me, that's all...

I think they will have a replacement for the Wolverine. They will probably emphasize the sport market since the Raptor went so well. This also follows the same pattern as last year (spy photos of the Raptor introduced through the summer followed by a fall release). The Polaris folks have a good corner on the market with 4x4 sports and Yamaha would rip on that market with a liquid cooled, larger displacement Wolverine (likely close to 500cc). I'd bet they probably bored out the Kodiak top end and put independent rear suspension on it. This would probably help them feel better as the Grizzly seems to be falling behind a bit in the tests. Dirtwheels/4whlATV Action are on crack to even speculate the Raptor engine would make it on a 4X4 - why would Yamaha create competition for it's own flagship? Any bets?

Bad news..... It seems to me that every year Yamaha has the accessories give away, at least in California anyway. I know when I bought my first new quad in 1995, Yamaha had that same special going on, (of course it was only $200 back then), and in 1996 when I bought another new quad from Yamaha, I got $300 in accessories then. The strange part was in 2000 they did not have the $300 accessories deal... but I bought a new quad from them anyway.
I hope that you guys are right about new models comming out....

I highly doubt that Yamaha will put the YZ250F engine in the blaster considering they have never put one of their dirtbike engines in a 4 wheeler, let alone redesigned a previous model. But if they did, that thing would move, because it would weigh less than a 400EX and have as much power. Don't bet on it.
