That’s right, Yamaha Motor Corp has rented the High Lifter Off Road Park in Shreveport LA for Saturday June 14, 08, to introduce a new utility ATV. Yamaha will show off (that includes demo rides) this new ATV at the High Lifter Off Road Park where dealers and riders have plenty of room to try out this new unit as well as other Yamaha ATVs. If you live around the Shreveport area and would like to be in on this sneak peak, before everyone else, come see it and visit the park and the Yamaha guys on that day. See the attached link for directions to the park.

http://www.highlifter.com/park/about.aspx

Please note the PARK is NOT OPEN at this time. Yamaha asks that riders LEAVE their own ATVs at home for this event (even if you have a Yamaha). High Lifter has some details to finish on the park and it will open soon.

The event is scheduled for 10am-4pm Sat 6/14/08. If you have a helmet, gloves, goggles and a long sleeve jersey bring them. If you don’t have those, there will some available for you to borrow.

I remember when yamaha released the revamped 07 Big Bear 400 with locker, IRS, and mudlites, they rented the Dirty Dog ATV Park in Phoenix City , AL...which is a mud oriented park for a more mud oriented big bear...hmmm wander what yamaha has up its sleeves this year at another mud oriented park

Yes, hats off to Yamaha for building machines designed to perform in extreme conditions! I bet in this unveiling, it has to be something big! More than trendy new graphics.....

A new Big Bore would be sweet. EFI V-Twin with wet rear brake system and tough axles would be awesome!!!

The rumor I been hearing is a powerful 558cc bike with around 37hp, IRS, EFI, power steering, and a manual tranny!

So far looking at the C.A.R.B site Yamaha is going to keep the 450 Grizzly and the 400 Big Bear for 09.

The only new model listed so far is the 550 Grizzly.

We will all know soon enough.

Very true! I do like BF750's. But I forgot to mention how much I like the Ultramatic tranny of a Yamaha.
