NO 1982 YAMAHA SRX

1981 Press Release - There will be no 1982 Yamaha SRX model snowmobiles for the 1982 model season.  The announcement came the last week of November, 1981 from a senior vice president at Yamaha Motors Corporation, USA , in charge of marketing and sales.
   The new 1982 model SRX was to have been A 500cc, liquid cooled snow-stomper. Intense testing was done on the new model in 1981 at Kotzebue, Alaska, Australia and Montana.  "The tests were not totally satisfactory," A Yamaha spokesman said. "Nothing major, just some little nagging things.  We didn't want to let it out to the consumers until everything was just right - so we're not letting them out this year.
   The Yamaha spokesman said a 1983 model definitely will be introduced.
