Supposedly one more sled to be released at Albany NY

[kenlacy]

Anyone heard this or is it a BS rumor? Rumor - says factory Turbo. Silver Anniversary edition??

 

[POWERHAULIC]

Whatever, I will be there hope to see a new release but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Tork]

A factory T.. Ta.. Ta...Turbo

Yamaha has been testing them out west but I dont think so, hope I'm wrong.

Maybe it's the lightweight ditchbanger?

Let the rumor mill start again. RRRRRRRRRRRR................

Utility 4 stroke to replace the VK 540 maybe.

I believe the utility sled stays the same.

 

[LazyBastard]

If that was the case, why would they have REMOVED vk540 from their website?

A frown? Oh no, YOU are not in the market for a utility sled are you?

Can ya feel your chain being yanked

No way JOSE they would not bring all of their dealers into Minneapolis and not announce it if there was another model nor would any company do all of the marketing efforts to get people to their web site and shows etc and start taking snow check deposits if they had another model. We'll have to keep dreaming. I spoke with the guy that gave the presentation in MN and he said that absolutely Yamaha will not have a Factory Turbo anytime in the future. He said the aftermarket is doing a good job.

Silver Anniversary would be the 25th

When you look at Yamaha's Epic poster http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products/sn ... _home.html
you find that they started with the 1968 SL350 and don't even show a sled in 1981.

I kind of doubt they'll make a big deal of the 38th year Anniversary.

I agree Lazy, but some of the foreign websites were showing it. So if it is still around, its not available in the U.S. nor have they changed it.

Yes I might be selling the sleds and going with a workhorse sled. :shock: Can I still go riding with you? 8)

It would be golden instead of silver. If they are celebrating 50 years of production, its not on the sleds, but the company overall.
