Seriously I heard they are dropping Suzuki and will build their own....just like their quads

I heard Kawasaki is going to supply the engines. A big triple 4 stroke.

Suzuki already manufactures the Cat 4 stroke (the 660 3 cyl and the 1100 Z1 plant) with Cats design imput. Suzuki owns 27 % of Artco I beleive. Can't see Cat using Yamaha power when Suzuki is a major shareholder I can see Cat building their own 4 strokes as they have a state of the art engine plant in Minesota. Possible.

If they did go completely 4 stroke for 2010 they would have no way of competeing in the entry level market or even the smaller horse sport and mountain sled market as their products would be to expensive??

Artco has been slowly purchasing Suzukis shares back over the last 4 years, maybe they are ready to buy back all Suzukis share now? Possible I guess. When Cat took the risk of spending mega millions on building ther own engine maufacturing plant the intent was to be selfsufficient and more profitable by building their own engines inhouse. Suzuki may want to sell out?
