1984 YAMAHA PHAZER

Snowmobile Magazine - September 1983
After almost three years of rumors, The Yamaha mystery sled appears as The 1984 Phazer...as close as 
coming from a fresh sheet of paper as anything ever built by Yamaha.
The rumors begin surfacing in 1980 Yamaha, in the process of introducing the SR-V and deep in the concept stage for the new SRX (later V-Max), had a third sled underway in the development process."Something really new and different."  This phrase was the only acknowledgement we could get from the sources inside Yamaha and while these five words didn't contain many satisfying details, we were intrigued by the rumors and confident Yamaha could indeed come up with a snowmobile model truly new and different.
