Yamaha says sayonara to snowmobiles:

After 55 years of making snowmobiles, Yamaha is leaving the industry. The last Yamaha snowmobiles to be produced will be model year 2025, which are slated for release next year. After that time, Yamaha snowmobiles will become a relic of yesteryear, a permanent memory only to be found within Old Sled Zone archives.

Going forward, Yamaha will concentrate management resources on current business activities and new growth markets, which could mean a boost to the brand’s side-by-side, marine, motorcycle and e-bike products.
