I agree. With my long history with Yamaha snowmobiles (bought my first one back in 1971) I felt compelled to order a 2025 and that's the one I'm getting. I sealed the deal with my dealer yesterday. He mentioned that with the limited production of the '25s that he's anticipating a September delivery. Can't wait.I had to watch again I love this sled it looks awesome definitely my choice.
As much as I thought about getting an SRX the LTX-LE just checked off more boxes for me. I've got a couple of riding buds who ordered the SRX yesterday so our group will have a pretty good representation of the Final Edition Yamaha's next season.

I like the looks of the SRX and the LE both. The SE not at all. I passed on my 2025 order as I have no miles on my 23 to justify just having a high dollar machine sitting on the shelf. My 23 LE may be the machine that lasts me the rest of my snowmobile riding time if other OEM's don't bring to market what I'm looking for in a big power trail sled with EPS. I'll just need to keep rebuilding and refreshing it up. Thank goodness for the aftermarket.

X2 my 2023 has 1 mile on it because of lack of snow. Still the best looking srx sidewinder.

Ya true but the more I look at it I like the white definitely either way looks nice.The rear bumper, spindles and ski tips should have also been teal.

Agree I have had multiple Yamaha Blue sleds, which i will keep, but the black version just looks nasty in a good way. Looking forward to building another sled next year after delivery. Anybody interested in well built 24' pm me.

Your Doo dealer probably has crates of sleds piled up from the past two seasons like I see locally. I would expect the 2025 model year will be a bust for many dealers. Lack of snow, high interest rates, and lots of old product on floor plans is not a recipe for good snomo sales. Yamaha will sell out of its final edition, Cat will sell a bunch of 858's and Tcats. Those will probably be the highlights of the 2025 model year.I heard that the Doo dealer nearest to me didn't get one phone call about the new 2025's on the launch day.

That's what I was thinking too and it won't take much to get the grab bar and bumper powder coated!The rear bumper, spindles and ski tips should have also been teal.

Agree. Think paint would stay on the ski tips?That's what I was thinking too and it won't take much to get the grab bar and bumper powder coated!
There are certain paints designed for plastic that could be used on the ski tips for sure. They have to be more flexible.Agree. Think paint would stay on the ski tips?

I tried to painty some ski tips a few years back with some plastic paint. They flaked pretty quickly.
There must be some better stuff than what I used.

I used Imron years back on plastic and I think it should work with this application

I tried with mine it starts to chip and peel on second season. maybe if you used actual car paint it would last but probably expensive to do.Agree. Think paint would stay on the ski tips?
