Seeing the old Yamaha sleds make me smile! I loved those things when I was a kid! My uncles buddy had one and would take me for a rip, they were fast back then! Years ago I helped tow a guys mint 250r off of a lake near Leduc that blew up, when we got to his house he opened his shop and it was full of old Yamaha sleds! Had to be close to 12 of them all in show room condition
I was about 11 when we went to the dealer show in Toronto... They fired up "the devil in a blue dress" and a triple pipe symphony erupted through the hall!! Man I wanted one
I think they brought out the v star bikes that year too, was a great show
