SRX600 | YAMAHA MOTOR

SRX600 | YAMAHA MOTOR: "The SRX600 and 400 models developed in this way were finally launched on April 15, 1985, as motorcycles of an entirely new category described by the expression 'taste of the world.' At the time of the launch, the plans were to sell about 2,000 units of the SRX600 and 5,000 units of the SRX400 annually. But, they soon became hit models and sales well exceeded those initial targets. Ignoring what were believed to be the demands of the times, the SRX development team had set out to build a machine that true enthusiasts would appreciate, and that meant building the kind of bike that they themselves wanted to ride. And, they were content to have only the people who appreciated such a machine riding it. But, they never imagined just how many appreciative owners these new models would find. In all, 19,000 units of the SRX600 and 30,000 units of the SRX400 would be sold in Japan and abroad (both represent total production numbers)."
