This is a common feeling . There has been plenty of the same talk over Dolmar /Makita making some of the saws in The P R of C . Again, there company run factories and not generic low cost makers.
Still a bunch of used ones around.
Manufacturing a product in a low cost workforce country WILL reflect on quality!
"The location change to the manufacturing of equipment", maybe a subject you want to make a separate thread out of ?
Not necessary!
I gots one of them wiff a ported big bore kit. Smaller crankcase volume acts like stuffers.
What I find strange Steph is the ...lack of forward information... from the companies concerned. Here we are all but into 2019 and in "product to market terms" , next to no time before some major saws are no longer to be available. The only thing we really know anything about is the 572 to fill in the 372 gap ..but.. having the 80cc and over just gone.. with no known plan seems very odd. In the UK the market for the upper 100 cc end is less common but the 90cc class is well used. If there is a plan , it seems strange that it hasn't been mentioned or if it has , not more so.
