Great info!

I see the biggest hurdle for 2-stroke DI is the patents.

Not much else is available unless GG wants to build their own DI system. I don't see that happening any time soon. I would not do it with the economies around the world being on edge. The only other option is to pay the fees for licensing DI. They could pick from Evinrude/Ski-Doo for E-TEC or Orbital DI system. I believe Orbital DI system is owned or is part owned by Polaris. Remember Polaris and KTM had/have a partnership. Maybe we could bring back the Can-Am with a re-badged GG.
