2 dealers here in Northern NH have dropped Yamaha snowmachines....One stuck with P[olaris one doesn't sell any at all but there family still sells Articat across the street. LLCote and Absolute Power sports...
I don't have a dealer for many many miles..makes me wonder if I'm missing something.

I wonder if the northern states are closing their dealerships because of poor sled sales? Southern states have quads all year round but northern states have to sell sleds to survive. If I'm not mistaken, by contract, northern dealers must take a minimum number of sleds to sell. Apart from the Viper, which is a contentious sled, there hasn't been anything new from Yamaha since 2007.

Middle class jobs are way down and pay is down , but the price of everything keeps going up and that takes away from fun money .

Hit that one on the head!! But hey the media and leadership say things are going great!

Unfortunately that is a sign of the times.
The CHEERS dealerships, the dealerships that were like us (the enthusiasts that decided to become dealers) are quickly disappearing and are being replaced by business/Wallmarts where it's
I DO IT FOR THE MONEY.
It's a sad day.
