Here are a couple of pictures I took at a grass drag in 2005. I made a comment that I didn't know Yamaha made a mini sled. The guy told me that they don't. I think he said they made this one out of a miniZ, but it might give you some ideas.

Looks good.I started working on an 83 kitty cat i just bought,so far i polished the tunnel.I was going to paint the cowl yamaha blue,get the seat recovered like an srx seat and have some mini srx stickers made.The more i think about it i dont think im going to do it because my kids will be to big for it by next year,really they already are to big for it.So,my new plan is to just clean it up and repaint the cowl black.Next year,i'll try and find a decent bravo for them.

Bravos are great kids sleds, Kitty Cats get stuck in the yard or driveway on 2 inches of snow.
That pic looks like the Polaris 120 painted to look like a Yamaha Viper. There is a Mini-Z on either side of it (both the new and the old).
Now when little sister hits the gas, big sister should do a somesault off the back.

I got an old Excel III 340 for my daughters when they were old enough to ride. Hooked up a governor so I could control their speed until they got used to it. It was a great sled for them to learn on. I've still got it in the trailer, my Grandson will be old enough to ride it pretty soon. The mini sleds are fun for kids, but they do get stuck easily, and kids grow out of them pretty quick.

You should be able to go to a graphics shop and have them make mini srx decals to look just like the full size model. And obviously as mentioned, that is just a Polaris 120. Good Luck and pst some pictures!

By the time I get kids and them old enough to ride perhaps the sled for them will be the Phazer. Should be alright as it could also be use as a backup sled. For now I would get the Bravo like some of you have done.

i picked up an '05 polaris 120 which is blue and white and i think the only year they made them in that color. i just took off the polaris stickers, ground off the polaris on the snow flap and my kids think it is a Yamaha. i was going to put yamaha stickers and graphics but heck the kids don't know the difference so wasn't worth the time and $ for me to do the full treatment.
