they did put a hold in 2010 i believe on their sportbikes where the did not update them and only sold the previous models until they could take them off the showrooms. they also discontinued the quadracer which is still a very popular atv on the mx circuit. their bread and butter are powersports and if they are taking hits there then something is wrong. their sport bikes are awesome and the very competitive and have the most ama superbike wins for a manufacturer. so the economy has something to do with their lower sales. since banks dont give loans out as easy, bc the banks says the economy is bad, then less people buy toys. and the people that the bank will give a loan to have enough money to just flat buy most items. i was hoping they would come out with a new quadracer but i dont think that will be happening anytime soon.
