the story:
the sled that didnt exist .. SRX500 is a ghost, but this ghost is alive .. only 16 left int the world. there is some more of this sleds, but none of them is in one peace.. First time i drived one, was in 1985, but only for about 10 minuts. the engine did not survive that day. if we only knew about the exhaust temp meters then, but at that time it didnt exist (for us).. (i hope you guys understand my bad english)
her is the story:

Kinda neat in red but, if I had an 82 I think it'd be best to keep it stock color value wise.

Awesome!
I´ve been in contact with Jon few times. Helped him to get a engine for one of his SRX´s from Finland.
We need more pics!
This pic is from 05 national snowmobile and atv expo in Jyväskylä
We had this 82 on our section (we displayed historical Yammies there)
