The black and gold SRX was always my favorite color. I have a 2020 and I have come to like that as well.

With a little wax on at the beginning the belt dust will just wash off. I really like the color scheme as well. I think it will look great on the trails

Bring out a black and gold srx like the 1980 with eps and I will definitely spring order for 2023!!!
The 1980 srx gold and black was the first machine I ever sat on..
My dad bought a new 1980 and was drag racing this sled back then. I was only 5 years old but clearly remembered sitting in front of my dad and him hammering the throttle... man what a rush.. I will never forget the excitement... from that day forward I been a sledhead.

That 77 SRX is the holy grail of snowmobiles. The 80's were cool looking for sure but the slowest of the first gen. SRX'SBut the original SRX was white
I think a retro black and gold would be killer

Where is the Gold color on the '77 SRX that Yamaha is using on the new 2022 SRX?

I think the L/C decal on the hood and there is a gold pinstripe with the red one that goes around the front of the hood. Not 100% sure tho it's been a long time since I have seen an original 77 far and few between now days.

There ya go, my bad I knew one of them had gold emblems, maybe it's a combo of 76 & 77 graphics. I would be willing to bet the marketing company that came up with this design has no idea how the first gen SRX'S effected the true faithful Yamaha fans.

So it appears that even though Yamaha is touting that the new 2022 SRX colors are paying homage to the "sacred" 1977 SRX the colors are a combination of 1976 and 1977 colors. I know that a lot of guys/gals are digging the new colors but it just doesn't work for me on the Pro Cross chassis. To each his own I guess.
That being said, if they were to drop the gold and black colors that were used one year only on the 1980 SRX.....
This one needs a few tweaks but I would throw down for that look in a heartbeat, especially with some sweet Ohlins shocks.
