Not sure it's "newsworthy" but oh well, I am sure it will be moved if need be.
Well apparently someone decided to bend the rule a little and offer the manufacturers who redeem themselves by producing a majority of extra clean skis will be allowed a few dirty ones.
Like what was done for a few SXRs in Kalifornia in 2003.
Hence the SJ and SXR might finally not die in 2007 and if the new X2 sells well in Japan it should be for sale in 2007....
So the good news is that our dear skis wouldn't disappear yet but the bad news is that it won't push Kawasaki and Yamaha to offer new 2 strokes EFI or 4 strokes stand ups.
Also the Hydrospace menace/motivation to innovate vanishes with the announcement from the APBA that it will not be allowed in stock class.
Because in Limited and SS piped SXRs do good enough against the HS.
In stock though the situation is different and the HS has such an advantage it would have inclined the OEMs to try to compete.
Well that motivation is gone now.
So you think the SJ will reach its 20th year?
