O.K., let's predict what Yamaha might do for 2008.

Will there be an 180 HP APEX SRX? APEX SSR?

Fuel Injection for all of the Triples?

More Engine options for the Phazer?

An all new Exciter?

A production version of a full blown snow crosser?
 
Im betting the Nytro will be in the DB-2 chassis and that the Genesis 120 will be getting fuel-injection.
Isnt it a little early to be talking about the '08s? I mean, the '07s came out only 3 weeks ago.

talked to Yami. mechanics on sat. nite, said all new models for 09, new design again!!!

Vector either gets replaced or is moved into a rider forward Apex Chassisfor 2008.

Apex stays the same with some little gimic to get you to buy and is replaced in 2009.

Maybe an Exciter version of the Phazer with the YZF 450 Clyninders for 2008. I doubt this happens that quikly but I'll bet you'll see a 900 motor version of the phazer either called Phazer or exciter
 
No matter what they do, I liked V-max SX or SRX nameplates more than Exciter. I am not all that crazy about the phazer name being re-introduced either. I would have liked to see YFZ 500 placed on the phazer. more of a motocross feel. JMO.
 
I agree with LB, The Exciter's of the late 80's were a great sled. I had tons of fun on them. That would be a great name for a higher HP Phazer.
 
I was there when the then new RX-1 first came out, I liked the four stroke, but had mixed opinions on the body style. I waited for the new body style and purchased a 2006 Apex GT. I like this body style and would like to see all of the triple cylinder sleds go to this style. But, gees, I'm not ready to see another new body style for the four cylinder sleds.

It will happen in 2009. Yamaha is on a three your Platform rotation

Best time of my life was on an Exciter, so I'm all for it... as long as it can do justice to its name.

I had an Exciter during my senior year of High School, and through my my first few years of college. It was the balls! I'd love to ride one now and compare it to my memories.
