I think that HillnGullyRider hit the nail on the head when he said that it was just a marketing ploy. It doesn't add any "real" value, just bragging rights. |

| Dave C | Bummer. I just bought one a few weeks ago. I hope parts don't become unobtanium. |

Coming from the motorcycle world, a bike with a 291cc engine would be marketed and sold as a 300cc bike. 2015 NINJA® 300 ABS Sport Motorcycle by Kawasaki 2015 CBR300R Specifications - Honda Powersports Yamaha Motor Canada :: Products :: Motorcycles and Scooters :: Sport :: 2015 YZF-R3 9cc's really doesn't make a whole lot of difference IMO. Years ago I had the 2008 model of this bike - 2015 CONCOURS®14 ABS Supersport Touring Motorcycle by Kawasaki , they still use the same engine today. It's marketed as a 1400cc sport touring bike. Actual engine cc's - 1352! |

Personally I believe there should only be two grades of snow engines from a manufacturing standpoint...The 210cc for compacts and the 420cc for full sized machines, anything in the middle is just splitting hairs and over-complicating things. That 306 is probably just a bored up 291, and just another reason to needlessly bump the price...In the reality of manufacturing, it can't cost much more than material cost to produce an electric start 420, than it does to produce an electric start 210. |

LCT has dropped the 291cc snow engine! I was talking to a customer service rep at LCT and I mentioned that I wished I had purchased the Deluxe 28 plus with the 291cc engine instead of the 254 cc engine, just to have a little more power, just in case. He said that LCT has discontinued the 291 cc, and replaced it with a new 306 cc engine. He assured me that the 254 cc is a very reliable engine.. It always makes me nervous when a company drops something from their line. I have no complaints about the 254cc it is very powerful and runs perfect. I read this forum almost every day and there are many of you that feel that you can never have too much power. Sometimes I get caught up in the more power thing, even though both my machines work very well! |
