Its not just ATV's, you have to think big picture with this. Its going to be everything from outboard boat motors to weed wackers, to snowmobiles. All 2 strokes, period. As far as a grandfather rule going into effect I have no idea but the days of 2 stroke production is limited. Emissions and polution are the biggest reason for the crackdown. With the people I ride with we make the 2 strokes ride at the back because nobody wants to go home smelling like 2 stroke oily exhaust. ATVs are just evolving, thats all.

 

This 2 cycle ban has been going on for years. It isn't news to professionals in the business.

IMHO, the "Big Bore" 2 cycle ATV/motorcyles/Boats will be viewed like the muscle cars of the late 60's. I could be wrong, but I bet I am not.
