...when I added a post saying that the big block (3.3) litres were going away? Oh, and someone referred to me as an (edit)...

I went ahead and deleted my post to save any more controversy, but I (and my source, from Kennesaw, GA) were dead-on. After December 31, 2009, Yamaha will not be producing any 3.3 litre engines. Only engines already made for 2010 will be sold. Here's the quote:

"For those that don’t know, 2-strokes are going away. Manufacturers will stop producing 2-strokes very soon because of EPA regulations. In fact, Yamaha said only the 150 and 175 2-strokes will remain after January 1, 2010. The dealers who already have the other 2-strokes can continue to sell them, but no more are going to be manufactured."

Just because a dealer has them on the dealer list doesn't mean they will still be made! Yamaha is building the last of the 3.3's right now.

How's that crow taste???
