Ok, so its 45 years young, still way fast back then. And then they simply walked away.
What I gathered from the BRP history video someone posted a link to recently, was that BRP had developed such a hot bike that it actually scared them. The market wasn't experienced and capable enough to ride them without a high probability of disaster. I think maybe they were concerned that hot bikes ridden by idiots was going to end up in huge lawsuits they had no desire to deal with.
