With the limited exposure that Yamaha has by only supporting 2 Open class sleds in the WSA and a few privateers who try to race in the other series. How long do you see them racing? I find their excuse about building a 440 very lame. In 1995 I bought a 440 MXZ that was the same sled & motor as what the racers bought. I realize that Ski-doo no longer sells the 440 to consumers, but the precedent is there. If AC built a 440 Tucker Hibbert replica sled with a motor set up to run regular gas & oil injection, I wonder how many they would sell. Look at the people who have bought the X version of the MXZs.
Would sleeving down a 500 twin to a 440 for racing approach the cost of adapting the bike motor for the RX1?
The CSRA has a 500 cc class interval to accommodate the 500 Yamahas and still hardly anyone races them, 600s or 700s in the other classes.
