2012 Yamaha Vector?

[vipermike2002]

Girlfriend wants a EPS Vector after riding a neighbors last year. Found a 2012 (121) with very low miles. Should I stay away from early year EPS machine or spend more money on something newer. Not many on the market right now. Anything that would make you stay away from a 2012 or noticeable differences between the years?

I bought my wife the same sled but 136”. She loves it easy to turn no smell and I love that no carbs to clean. I studded hers to keep her on the trails. No problem hitting 100 mph+

other than the tuner skis sucking in some conditions, all of them should be pretty good.

Kinda sucks this is a 121. But the price is right.

I have a 2013 with over 20,000 Km and just love it. Have also has a Viper for the past 3 years but last year used the Vector almost as much.

I have had 2010 vectors and the 121 was loved by my daughter more than the 136 LTX she will love it

It's not so much the year that matters. 121's are harder to unload when the time comes and they just don't look right! There are a lot more first year used PS sleds than any other years for the Vec ('12)and Ape ('11). Later years are rare and no better unless they are really low miles.
