Forgive the tone of the post, then. My statement was based on how the North American off-road scene for hard-enduro, GNCC, endurocross, and cross-country racing seems dominated by mid-size two-strokes from KTM, Husqvarna, Beta, Sherco and even the "undead" Gas Gas from time to time. Yamaha even decided to stay in the game last year with the YZ250X.
When I think "aggressive off road" I think the power-to-weight and motor characteristics of a two-stroke. I was wondering if this was a first move to attract the riders in that arena, and into the possibility of a "full range" that included competition (over time) to the Orange or White brands.
