SRX and SXR?

Two COMPLETELY different animals. Do a search on the topic, but basically: The srx is made to be a screamer, lake top, straight line, low slung with a short travel suspension for better performance and top speed. 140 horse triple piped, 3D ignition, exhaust powervalves, etc. The sx 700r is a conventional tripple with no powervalves, less high-tech engine. A lot better suspension. Both are EXTREMELY dependable, great on gas and oil, etc. But two very different animals.
 
I bought a 2001 SXR dropped and rolled, 144" here from Flying Farmer this summer on TY. I'm finally getting her ready to ride and I noticed the decals were different from SRX photo's. Now I know, thanks! I have been riding my '97 V-Max 4 ST since it was bought new and have never bothered looking at other sleds. The SXR should be a great boondocker!
 
srx took the place of your vmax 4, and the sxr would be like the standard trail sled vmax, just tuned more towards big bump capabilities :)
 
I'd hold onto that 97 Vmax4, she's a collector, there were very very few 1997's made and were the best year for the Vmax 4 with the long travel suspension and factory hydraulic brake. I've been told that there were as few as 50 1997 Vmax4s sold in the states.
 
i know of a brand new 1997 V-Max 4 here in wisconsin. That's right, 0 miles, been stored indoors its entire life. Really is an amazing piece of machinery to look at. The guy has received A LOT of offers to buy, but he doesn't want to sell it.
 
Somebody on V-Max 4.com told me he knew of 5 vin numbers and mine was the sixth. My '97 is a Mountain Max 136". I never really pursued getting more info. I bought it with 300 miles on her and have taken very good care of it. I might have goofed up by adding quad pipes and shaving the heads and stuff but it sure made it faster.
 
wow, didnt realize there was that few!! I had a 96 for a while and miss it whenever anyone mentions having one :( :(
 
Let me clarify the rumor. There was supposed to be around 50 '97 V-Max4 121"' sleds made. The V-Max 4.com guy told me that he knew of only 5 long track Mountain Max's made but mine turned out to be a sixth. Maybe somebody here knows for sure or how to find out. I lived out west and rode it for five years there. It was terrible in the deep and steep but I only got beat in straight line drags by heavily modified sleds. It's a heck of a lot faster than me! Mark Young at Cascade Yamaha in Bend, Oregon helped me set it up along with YAMMIEGOD for clutching.
