I seriously doubt the market would bear that. Where did you get this "information"?i just read the new Husqvarna chainsaws will be as high as $1,500. I guess the one with all the bells and whistles. Any word on these?

But your original post was about new saws... Retirement pretty slow??I been running huskys since 1979 in a firewood business. I’m retired now but would like to collect some older huskys I once used. Plus some newer ones too. This prediction of prices going up may damper or slowdown my hobby.
I think the gubmint has more to worry about than max rpms on chainsaws, and they can pry my mmws 288 from my cold dead hands lol.I heard the US government is mandating safety chain to be used on all saws by 2020 and that the max rpm’s of saws over 50cc will be limited to 12,000 rpms, unless the saw operator has passed a certified BLM and Forest Service training course and is government certified to operate beyond those perameters. If caught running a chainsaw without proper certification and Accompanied ID you can be fined and equipment confiscated.
Because of these new safety regulations, the chainsaw industry is ramping up prices to compensate for a lack in sales as a result of less consumer demand as most wont be legally able to run a lot of certain chainsaws.
I heard before they go after saws they're going after motorcycles using damn near century old technology, claiming to be american made, emptying 401ks of middle aged American men.I heard the US government is mandating safety chain to be used on all saws by 2020 and that the max rpm’s of saws over 50cc will be limited to 12,000 rpms, unless the saw operator has passed a certified BLM and Forest Service training course and is government certified to operate beyond those perameters.

Bwahahahaha I hate those oil dripping POS machines. Give me a 1k Sport bike any day.
In 2002 I rode HD's shot at the jap twins down at bike week. It's so strange to me that the V-rod never really took off. That whole segment of product defies logic. The story that epitomizes HDs for me happened about 12 years ago when I stopped to hydrate on a hot day out on a ride. My back was to the road, and a bike turned the corner and the rider gave it hell. All sorts of racket, you'd have thought there was an NHRA strip behind me. I turned around and the rider was leaned forward, wrist twisted, but the bike was barely accelerating. All show and no go...Odd, there are 4 of them sitting in my garage and not a drop of oil on my garage floor. I agree, pushrod V twins are some ancient technology, funny to see how hard the jap bike companies try so hard to make bikes that look and sound like them. I like sport bikes as much as anyone, I still have an R1 as well, but I'm pretty sure the oil dripping days are behind us at this point....

Where can you find a road to run your crotch rocket, as it was intended, without attracting unwanted attention?
I've not owned or ran a china saw but I like my fillings too much to subject them to an old Mac.for most firewood guys, rehabbing a 10-10 makes more sense than buying an overpriced cheesy plastic foreign saw.
Prices in Uk & Europe are higher from new saws to spare parts & have always been that way not only in this line of kit Fuel & most manufactured kit of any order is more costly on the east side of the pondDoes anyone know historically how prices in Europe compare to the US when models are released? Same/similar pricing or is one higher?
