I had one when I was young, it was an awesome sled but they stopped making them. I just want to see some pics of some and see if anyone has one of these Rare sleds.

I don't have one but there are many around here, mostly invaders. There is an Interceptor 550 on Ebay right now.

I still have my first sled, 1974 sno*jet 433 identical to the one in this pic (http://www.cableregina.com/users/rread/72superjetwt.jpg) 18" wide track the thing was a tank except for that damn old tillotson, never would idle on its own, once you got going though it went. The engine is out now, waiting to go into an old roper lawn tractor:twisted:

Found some random video on youtube with kawis a while back, so I posted it on vintagesleds and the one guy on there said he was contacted by the company to use a picture of one of his kawi sleds for the cover art. Supposed to be available in the US sometime soon?

I've had an old Drifter sitting in my back yard for as long as I can remember. The thing is seized and the bars are twisted like you wouldn't believe.

My buddy has a 1979 and 1982 440 kawasaki sleds. They are light and fast. They are his back up sleds when buds come over, behind his Yamaha 700 triple. Those 440s' rip!

I remember delivering the paper on my paper route to the local kawasaki dealer (Ruttmans Kawasaki, the same family as ruttmans that run in Nascar ). Every winter they'd get rid of most of the bikes and put the sleds out. I recall vividly when they put out the 440 and 550's on the showroom floor, and used to have to wipe the drool off my jaws as I walked by to Mr. Ruttmans office to give the paper to his secretary. Great memories. That dealership has much to do with my love of all motorized toys.
