This is a prototype sled produced by Yamaha and distributed to motorcycle dealers throughout the snow belt for marketing purposes.   They were supposed to be returned to Yamaha and destroyed, but obviously a few made it into the hands of collectors today.  As of 2005, Stephen has confirmed 3 other complete sleds besides this one.  They are owned by;  The New Hampshire Snowmobile Museum, Richard Roy, and Craig Olsen.  Stephen has spent 3 years tracking this one down before finally acquiring it.  It is the heart of his Yamaha Collection.
