1979 srx 440 on ebay


THATS A NICE SLED. '' SRX '' DECAL IS MISSING ON WINDSHIELD AND SO IS '' L/C '' FOR HOOD. BUT THESE ARE GETTING REPRODUCED NOW. THATS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SLED. 3:16 (yammie tony)
 
I owned one of those from new...one of my all time favorites! Especially when back in its erra...nothing compared.
I could actually lift the back end up on my Chevy 4X4s high tail gate then pick up the front end by the bumper and walk it into the truck bed...try that with any new Yamahas!!!

yep I can rember doing that very thing Bob on the tailgate trick.Them sleds were light enough to lift,not like today's obese sleds...lol..It would take 3 guys to do that with my SRX never mind..probably 6 guys with a 4-stroker..yikes!!

I've loaded a vmax-4 onto a half-ton with only one helper, not easy, fun, or recommended. I thought I was gonna need surgery when I was done.

Tony,

How much apart "seat of the pants feel" was the 79 exciter from the 79 srx

THE SEAT OF THE PANTS WAS A ALITTLE GAS ON THE EXCITER. THE SEAT OF THE PANTS ON THE SRX WAS A FULL BLOWN LOAD THAT NEEDED YOUR DRAWERS CHANGED. rotflmao. no comparison. 3:16 (yammie tony)
