Cheater! But smart. You spent $100 to look like a new $15,000 sled. Kind of like putting lipstick on granny & taking her to the dance......except not as creepy!

I can't get rid of my '07 GT. I just put on a new WRP seat, all new front bushings & front Hygear shocks rebuilt. I did "the Tighten Up" (that's a Archie Bell & The Drells reference) on whole front end including a few new rivets. Next year i'll do the same to the rear and change chain. It's now my back-up sled, but everybody who rides it........LOVES IT!

My new one is on the way

Been calling around to local dealers that are advertising the 50th sleds. No dice. They tell me it was pre order only.
I get that, but why spend the time putting them on your site.
2 of them claiming the new '18 50th sleds are in stock.

Me and my 2015 Apex xtx probably the last sled I'll ever own.

I did not know that. Glad I had mine on the list then.

Wished I had been on the ball before the deadline.

I'm glad that they came out with the apex anniversary addition but I'm not a fan of the shure shot suspension I'm glad I have the 2015 suspension with the tip up

Our two Apex's have given us many great memories over the years. Both are 2006 models, the very first year of the Apex. Yamaha really did their homework on the Apex. These sleds have clearly stood the test of time. They've been like a faithful dog to us over the years, always ready to go when called and never, ever let us down. Here's a few pics to share:

I had Skinz Protective Gear here in Minnesota custom make the seat covers for the Apex's a number of years ago.

They applied the "Yamaha Factory Racing" logo on their silk screening machine. You would have to contact them to find out if they still have the logo.

Some folks seem to like them. I get why some don't.
Guess I'd have to try one before making a call.
