I'm not the best with photoshop. I'd like to see a side by side comparison photo of the 2025 SRX and the one VX1R wrapped about 5 years ago. I think they are quite similar?? VX1R was ahead of his time....
Not so much

Amazing that these Yamaha SWs are still the best looking sleds on the snow after 9 model year releases and 7 SRX model years!!

Who gets the sled in the photo shoot?
#1 of 998.
They should raffle it off to the VIP members here on ty!
The give away ride would be nice place to do that.

"Okay guys lets do orange"! "No we got some red skids to use up also" Great! Lets do red and orange.had some seats left over from 2017 models?!! lol
This one made me scratch my head. Maybe its a salute to some other color scheme they had 20 years ago? IDK but its brutal. All the maroon/red is pretty sad. I was really hoping they would turn it up a notch for the last year. O well. the srx and black/teal is decent

1986 Vmax 540 1986 Phaser 1981 SRX 440
Kind of a throw back to the mid 80’s Phazers and STV’s ?"Okay guys lets do orange"! "No we got some red skids to use up also" Great! Lets do red and orange.

"The Sidewinder L-TX SE pulls its sporty and aggressive look from its predecessor, the Apex" Straight off Yamaha web. ??

Yamaha doesn't care anymore about sleds.

I wonder if they had all the colors and everything set and then Japan dropped the we are getting out of the sled business. It’s sounded to me like it was a surprise for all.

If they didn't see it coming then they are as dumb as a box of rocks. Writing has been on the wall since 2014

Well I feel the whole Covid bs caused this …or our great leadership ….maybe it was inevitable. It’s hard to justify 30k plus for a new sled here in Canada. It’s unattainable for most let alone new people in the sport.

Nothing to do with Covid. With climate change as it is and low snow, there isnt a very big market share for Yamaha. Why focus wasted dollars on sleds when you can sell thousands and thousands of SxS, ATVs, outboards, watercraft and motorcycles in climates that are there 365 days a year! The margin isnt there for snowmobiles for Yamaha and thats the way it is. Touche' to Yamaha for realizing this early and stopping the bleed of the snowmobile division. Let the other 3 fight for market share and soon there will only be two left. Sad indeed but makes sense.
