I was just saying to a co-worker that in 1982 a new Bravo's suggested list price was $995. In good shape they easily fetch more than that now. I know that it mostly due to our devalued dollar, but I wonder if the same will be true of any new sleds being sold now? BTW, my buddy bought a Jag Z in '93. They really were great sleds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, my buddy bought a Jag Z in '93. They really were great sleds. I bought her 91 used but the 93 new from Kellys in Brampton. I don't remember the exact price I paid for the 93. We traded the 93 for a new 95 ZR440, now that was a trick sled. Bought the 95 from the dealership in Stoveville, Dick was the owner then. I think the dealership is gone now.

Eric was the owner - loud, larger than life, an absolute rabid sledhead and Yamaha fan.

Eric was a regular fixture at Snow North. He more or less passed away right in the showroom. RIP bud. Taken way too young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
