I remember when My DAD came home with the 1980 srv 540 it was the Best looking sled you could buy...they had a ad in the paper and it had a fighter jet behind it and it was way ahead of it's time....

What great commercial. My favorite yamaha snowmobile of all time .The 250 Bravo and of course the Phazer.

Been watching this video several times each winter Finally I have an ET 340T !! Gonna get out and live the dream, just like I drove snowmobiles when I was younger :)

never delete this! this is great peace of snowmobile history!! :)

I have the SRV 540 from 89. Beautiful machine. Haven't ridden it in years. Looking forward to getting home soon in the winter for a ride. :)

Wow, takes me back to being a teenager in the early 80's! Love the look of the VMax. Had a futuristic death star look..hahaha! This is how commercials and selling products used to be...great times and memories for sure..and affordable I might add.

The SRV was the best looking sled back in the early 80s.It was way ahead of its time in looks.

I had a white 300 Enticer. I road that thing like I stole it. No one could keep up with me in the tight twisties in NW Wisconsin. That was when trails were a sled in width.

These things never died! My dads 340 enticer was paid off in two months hitting coyotes and taking the pelts in. lol. Then fast forward ten years and I have the machine... still running like a top... i tortured that thing thinking I was Blair Morgan and it took all I threw at it. Won’t start. No prob. Little gas in the plugs and see ya. We did one thing with that sled. Hold it wide open everywhere. Odometer Gauge. lol. For what, it just kept wrapping the needle. Best machine I ever owned. And for a 340 they ripped. Everyone in our area either had a enticer or bravo or vmax when I was a kid. And when the 540!vmax came out well holy shit. Ahh the good old days. This soundtrack btw. lol. Yamahaaaaaa

I am an avid snowmobiler and over the years I have owned a nice few Yamaha snowmobiles! The reliability of these old machines was fantastic. These Machines include numerous bravos,enticers,an ovation 340,xlv 540 I still to this day haul firewood with my 93 bravo trapper it is a machine that will never ever let you down! I really wish Yamaha made a competitive 2 stroke crossover sled because without a question I would own one! I now ride Polaris but await the day when Yamaha announces an twin cylinder two stroke with a 144" track. Thanks for this video it brought back a lot of memories 😊

1962: 900lbs, 5hp almost 10mph. 2020: 400lbs, 165hp, 100mph.

That looks EXACTLY like the one I used to race around 15 years ago. Same tach, panels, the VP sticker on the hood and Boyessen on the fairing and the 2 velcro strips on the seat. Holy crap it was so much fun to race and sounds so good.

Probably the best line up in history!! hope you guys get to experience Bravo and Enticer, its truly an amaziing thing!

I grew up ridding a 1980 340 enticer! Boy what a joy!

Holy cow! The memories. And the voice of skiing videographer Warren Miller at 6:10 talking about his Excel III!

I was always a Ski-do guy, but in the 90s in Alaska my riding buddy had a SRV, they're just like their motorcycles, extremely reliable.

I had a 93 Srv. It was good except in deep snow as it plowed instead of getting on top. the Enticers were great and the 84 Phazer was top notch fun.

I rode all of these sleds, good ol sleds 👍

Just gonna send it!

At 2:14 you can see there is a silver Phazer in the lineup. That awesome model didn't come out til 1984 ( and then went on to dominate sales for years) It's so cool to see a prototype!

I loved my 1983 SRV. Very fast! Had the engine ported and polished! I hated to sell it. Moved from Alaska to Alabama. Can't use it there!

Thanks for that. Brings back some great memories. Vintage sleds FTW!

15:12 greatest slow mo and music sequence in historical records

Thanks David. You just succeeded in making me feel old!

I need those pop up headlights, those are beautiful

This is great! What a blast from the past!

Bravos will never be beat the great quality back in those days still carry out in these days only if they still made the bravos

Even Yamaha needs a montage! Awesome vid!

Had quite a few of the machines in this lineup..... legendary reliability

I have several Yamaha sleds they are so dependable. I have a 1988 Exciter 570 liquid, a Phazer II 488 fan, and a 440 ss

Got an 83' SS440 brand new in January 84'. It's looks and performance would still hold water in 2018! Eventually ended up with an 87' V-Max just to see what the hype was all about. It was a good sled as long as it remained un-altered in any way. Clutching became an endless battle after I had to replace the wrecked Comet 102-C with a new Comet 108-C. I spent s small fortune in weights / springs and it got close at best. They're both gone now and I miss them both.

1:00 man i miss my 83 yamaha bravo shortrack, a couple of years ago i bought one and it a track problem... s 2 years ago i bought a 95 longtrack bravo, for some reason i missed the shortrack bravo it was special to me and man was it fast!! got it up to 85km thats faster then my longtrack! i still have the bonnet, to bad i really i really liked that little sled bravo is amazing sled...

Thanks you For this awsome video. Because of this exciting video. I bought a srv540 and loved it!!!!.

Greatest thing ive ever seen!

They are very good riders

What an absolutely awesome video ( 09 nytro xtx)

I had a 87 srv 540 back in the late 2000s. Crazy how much things have changed. Great sled though, good power and very reliable just no suspension compared to nowadays

I worked at a Yamaha Sled Dealer in 83. Each dealer was able to order 1 Phazer. It was a test run to see how they would run and sale. Yamaha had a bad apple in 1981 with the all new SRX 440. They did not want this to happen again. Yamaha should bring back the PZ with the 540 Fan, 136 inch track and air structs and rear shocks. It would sale!!

Damn I live in Oklahoma! Wish I needed one of these!

I've owned a few Yamaha sleds, enticer 340 deluxe , srv 540 and a vmax 700. I liked the enticer and srv more than the vmax, that sled was fast on the lake and trails but sucked in the powder. The clutch exploded on it and tore up the sled pretty good. The other 2 just ran and ran. Never broke down with minimal maintenance.

I sold my 340 exciter for this 250 enticer. Holy cow! What a rush of acceleration and responsiveness

Whenever people call the SRV a SR Vee, I direct them to this video. It was always a SR FIVE. The "new" chassis is called the SRV.

TSS was like a Polaris RMK rear now.. two shocks with Springs over the shocks. Just needed more travel back then it was a super sled for sure.

Jeez these thing are ahead of their time Almost caught up with us...

My cousin still got a 83 bravo still got the same engine he bought a new one in the 90s he still got both and they both work great still

I remember riding my old man's 440 exciter.. good power.. but them old sleds were not the best for deep snow.. the litte 250 sled kicked ass .get het up to almost 60 miles an hour.lol.. shit has changed ..

NOTICE...No snowmobiles were harmed In the filming of this commercial.

awesome

There still great machines to ride. Used cheap to buy..

Back in the 70's and 80's My Dad Owned a Arctic Cat, Yamaha, John Deere, Kawasaki Snowmobile Dealership. When Cat Closed from '82- '84 All Cat Buyers Switched to Kawasaki and John Deere sleds. Yamaha sleds were not big sellers.

6:00 is that Warren Miller doing the voice over? (Warren Miller of ski fame)

Glory times

The bravo was a great sled, never got the attention it deserved cause for some reason they weren't liked as much as other sleds...maybe its because it replaced the 250 enticer which was a very loved sled and sadly it shortly got discountinued

this was the year the bravo replaced the 250 enticer, even tho they were great sleds and very different. both were mechanicly identical. both had a single 250 engine, both were in size, both had the same skis and both had the same suspension. the 250 enticer was on the race side, while the bravo was more of an economical sled. even tho the 250 enticer was very awsome and more awsome then the bravo. the bravo was an improvement from the 250 enticer. the suspension was slighty changed and improved and the bravo was a little lighter then the 250 enticer and it came with a few other unique features like shown in the video and i think adjustible handbars was the best thing ever on a sled of there kind. both sleds are loved dearly but 250 enticer is my favourite

Me imaging Im on the enticer 300 going through that deep powder

mad max of northern canada would be driving a longtrack bravo using bear fat for lube.

I believe that ski-doo especially as well as others were tech doorstops. Yamaha really pulled ahead during this time. Advances in suspension were seen in this video that ski-doo was only able to copy later on. Yell at me if I'm wrong.

Dang my dad has an srv but planning to sell it Having second thoughts
