1979 SRX 440. 3:16 (yammie tony)

[ryan]

My '93 Vmax-4!:rockon: :rockon:

I don't ride it much anymore, but when I do, I still love it.

[racer7x]

My old 1980 SRX

[vmax4rules]

My 1992 Vmax-4 gets my vote.

[Exciter570]

Man that's a tough one, but I think I have to say the 1993 Exciter II SX gets my vote.

[JAMIE]

my 1991 vmax 540

[nate b]

I'm gonna go with the 87 vmax 540

[fastmax]

1978 SSR :rockon: :4fzfk2:

[BUBS SRX]

I'm partial to the 80 srx for the sheer pop when its clean and shiny.
Looks like its speedin just sittin there:rockon:

[SideshowRob]

Well this one's a no brainer.
Cheers to a machine far ahead of its time. :rockon: :muahaha:

Also a big fan of the original 1984 Darth Vader.

And yesss, yes, yes the SSR!!!!!!!!

[94max]

1971 Yamaha SR433. This sled is the one that put Yamaha on the map. Winning the World Championship in 71 beating the 800s with a 440.http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p267/markxx800/92566620911_0_BG.jpg

[dealermotorcycles]

I would pick the first Vmax from 1982.

[als92vmax4]

2002 srx 700

[SRV540]

1989 SRV540

[4with4]

When I was growing up it was all Ski-doo and Cat. The odd Polaris but hardly any Yammi's. I took a ride on a Exciter 440 one day and I was in love. I was only about 14 at the time and that was my "sled to have". When they came out with the black and gold color scheme in 1980 (I think) I spent so much time at the dealership looking at it that he was gonna put me on the payroll. I've never owned one, will buy one if I find one in good shape. I did have an 81 SS440 and that was a little light weight rocket too.

I really love my vmax4, so it´s number 1 for me. Close second is SRX700, after that 4-cylinder Apex. Hole new era on snomobiling on that thing. Vmax540 is also great... and Exciters too. LOL

Too many options!

Ike

[ryan]

Your right Ike, too many to choose.
I loved my Exciter SX, way better than the regular one. Hard to start when it was cold though with the high compression. Recommend that sled to anyone looking for an older second sled.
Fastest trail sled I ever rode was a SRX 700. Incredible in the twisties with crazy throttle response. No rear suspension, but you could pick you way around the bumps with ease.
The RX-1 for it's overall ability, haven't been on an Apex yet. Going 250+ kms without fuel has added a whole new dimension to riding. Makes for great late night rides without fear of not getting gas.

[lokn4sno]

I was a die hard two stroke guy a "naysayer", until I rode, and later purchased a new 07 Apex. This thing is the Bomb!!
Don't get me wrong, I love my Max 4, but spending more time finding fuel than riding has been wearing on me as of late.
I will never part with my pride and joy, but I'll likely be riding a four stroke 150 hp sled that gets 15+ mpg on the trail. :rockon:

[racer7x]

:agree::agree::agree: Only , have my RX-1.:4fzfk2:

[AL P]

My Favorite would be the 1995 vmax-4!!...LOL, not sure why...

AL COOL YOU BROUGHT THIS BACK UP. LOVE THE 95 800, JUST UNCOVERED MINE TODAY. STILL LOVE RACING THAT SLED. 3:16 (yammie tony)

[AL P]

My pleasure yammigod..this is a great thread you started!!

I know I`m only suppose to pick one, which i already have...but if i can..I`d like to add the yamaha SRX 600/700...i just love the looks of them!! a friend of mine has a 600, and I`ve always wanted one, their the sled I used to drool over, until I found my vmax 4..which was the first vmax 4 i had ever seen, or heard of..anyway, them SRX`s....run great, handle great (acording to my friend with one, which I believe) look great!!...the 700`s beat most 800`s at the time..whats not to love!!

[Vmax540]

The last lake racer from Yamaha (in the USA) until the 1992 Vmax4 arrived....... the 1987 Vmax 540 and no I am not biased....... :)

One of my riding buddies had this sled back in the day - very fast & cool for it's time.

[Ike]

Great pics guys. Keep those pics coming.

[ratso]

My favorite was my 78 srx, but i hoping i can do the same with my 94 vmax4

[Kahunas]

I really enjoy my '97 V-Max 4. It is just a tough sled that is dependable as a Timex and fast. It's kinda cool how few of them there are.

[Lakeshadow]

I think I pushed a wrong button,,, I'll try again. I like this thing because it's a fabrication of mine. A somewhat replica of a GP643, with other stuff thrown in. 5522

[opsled]

Hard to choose.

Here are 3 of mine.

[Lakeshadow]

Hey Al Your slip is showin' ??? Is that your hood limit string stuck in the crack there????

[AL P]

Hey Al Your slip is showin' ??? Is that your hood limit string stuck in the crack there????

LOL..yeah I noticed that too, and was wondering myself?...I think it might be a reflection though?, because I have defiantly always had my hood cables connected to the spring..so the cables, should`nt no way be able to end up showing there...

unless it had came unhooked or something and i forgot?
that pic was taken a couple years ago...

[Roo]

Cant decide...all of them had a special place with me.. Had an SS440 that was quite the little rocket. A 79(?) SRX that made me pull my hair out at times, but was blistering fast, An SRV that was a pleasure to own and ride. Several mid 80's Vmax 540s. And after lusting after the first Vmax4 I saw in the showroom way back then (I remember the price was $10,400 or $10,600!!) a long time passed, and now I own one.

Not sure what was best, but the puzzling and envious looks my 92 gets from all my Ski-doo and Arctic Cat friends shoot its way, Id say its the V4 that garners the most intrigue. Everytime I open the hood, or start it up (has a can on it) they just look on in a state of stuper.

I think they love it, but cant come to terms with their own feelings!

[metal_man]

id say the 1993 Vmax-4 750 would be my favorite i like just about everything about it...:smiley-12

[TommyMoEmDown]

Sleds are like woman, they all have there own feel. I'd have to say my midnight ride 80 SRX from Big Moose back to Old Forge in 84? Had the throttle under the palm of my hand and basically never left up. Snow was deep and the trals were like a bob sled run with high bank corners. I don't think any other sled could do that.

[JERSEYJOE]

It would have to be my 2001 SRX. I know it's not a vintage sled but I hear what you are saying Tommy. I remember one run up in Quebec from Mt. Laurier all the way to St Jovite. It's a 85 mile long raileoad bed and it's straight and flat. I had that throttle on the handle bars and the SRX railed throught the corners and never skipped a beat..

[applecider]

My 1980 300 Enticer Twin Special. It was the first Yamaha I owned and was absolutely bullet proof - I loved this sled. My buddies Citation 4500's and Cats were always breaking down and hard to start. Friends had Indy Trails as well and I could beat them in a short race and on a sideroad or lake up north I could roll along at 80mph indicated(their speedo's). This sled completely hooked me on Yamaha's and I would not have a couple V4's now without it. Since then I have owned 340 Enticers and a 1980 SRX440 in mint condition before my current stable.

[vector]

GPX 433 Has my vote. Love my VMAX 4 but first fast sled I drove was a GPX

[8BU]

Any year Vmax4, Exciters, and early 70's SR's.

[The-Hoss!]

1981 SRX440.
First Sled Engine I rebuilt from top-bottom & left-right.
Tempermental = Yes, ...However Crazy Fast when everythings clicking!
I remember passing cars going up the side of the Hwy one winter....back when we had snow!
