They've literally been blue since the late 90's. I was desperately waiting for this release today to go spring check a brand new SRX (would be my first new sled ever in my life at 40 years old) and there's an ugly #*$&@ red sack of #*$&@ waiting there instead of beautiful yamaha blue.I love the red and white 77 SRX color scheme. That is going to pop on the snow. I think the LE (Blue one) really pops. Change is good guys. You cant always have a blue SRX!!! The black and Gold 440 SRX 1980 was awesome. Still waiting for that color to come back. The only thing I think is they missed the boat on was NOT offering EPS on the SRX? That is just dumb..

It's a tribute to the 1977 SRX that completely dominated the racing seen in the late 70's and early 80's it is still outlawed in a lot of vintage racing events to this day.

Ya know now that ski doo brought back the Mach Z Yamaha brought back the classic red n white.It's a tribute to the 1977 SRX that completely dominated the racing seen in the late 70's and early 80's it is still outlawed in a lot of vintage racing events to this day.

Yep, they said 3lb lighter but that begs the question; what did that weigh?They mentioned in 1 video, Cats EPS design is lighter then the Apex EPS.

Why don't you just say "it weighs "X" lbs"...let buyers make informed decisions. I want to have fun and know what I'm getting, not do research and then math.

EPS and shocks should be a option on ANY YAMAHA.... I think the early order program is very good this year! But no way I should have to shop for shocks! And I get it you cant make everyone happy with colors or shocks, but no reason whatso ever paying these prices should you not be able to choose EPS and a shock package..

Can't always go by what these pictures show.
Ask the buyers about the RR skid mess.

Tks for your input. It’s very hard to please everyone with a lot of different variables In play .
SideshowBob hit the nail on the head here. Not everyone will love every colour-way, we try to have a diverse offering to keep the sleds looking unique and on trend for each model year.
This should now be fixed.
Here is the Canadian Program:
https://www.yamaha-motor.ca/en/spring-power-surge-2022
One thing for future sled gauge package , a removable “ mini I pad “ type of gauge that you could run your gauges & have gps map sys compatibility. Also removeable at over night hotel that you could map out next days ride or surf the internet, would be a really cool option on sleds . Would be one step ahead of the current Polaris options.
