This is NOT a joke, There is a 97 with .01 miles on it sitting on the showroom floor at Bob's Recreation Plus in Twin Lakes Wisconsin. Bob has been selling Yamaha snowmobiles since the early 70's and has probably forgotten more about them than most of us will ever know. There have been many years in the past where he was the top selling Yamaha dealer in the world. His close proximity to Chicago and a lack of other dealers at the time had alot to do with it. There are now a few mega dealers in the area that have taken alot of his buisiness but if you need a part for an old Yamaha Bob will know what it is and if he doesn't have it it's likely no other dealer will. This Vmax has never had gas or oil in it. It's the last one he had left in 97 and he decided to keep it. If you ask Bob how much he just laughs and says it's not for sale although he does have a $20,000 price tag on it. There have been alot of guys standing around drooling at it but nobody has been able to talk him out of it. I have to look at it every time I'm there. I'll try to remember to bring my camera next time and post some pics.
