I was told they only made 500 of this model. The one that I am looking at is #185.

Those are a pretty fast sled, suspension is kinda crappy for the time compared the Polaris Indy, but there not to bad of a sled. How much are you picking it up for?

I have an 89 Exciter i got for free. They are very good starter sleds. Super reliable. Yeah, not the best suspension, but its not too horrible. They will stay with the big new sleds in the trails. I recommend studding the track if it isn't already. They are light as hell and you can throw them around with ease. The engine is also pretty powerful, they are little screamers. You can also put VMAX 600 cyl's on them and pipe it and they'll pump out 100+ hp. Good luck

my buddy had 2 of em. they both ended up having clutch issues and yes they has one of the worse suspensions one could ever ride. they can also be cold hearted to get fired up sometimes. but they are pretty fast for their age. they are also not too bad of a motor for being a temper mental yammi . im more of a doo guy but if i ever had to take a diff. brand and make it would be that one.

Sounds like a nice sled for 500 bones. People are trying to get a grand around here for their beat down late 80's sleds just because we have so much snow right now.

I always loved the style / color scheme of these 94 sx, I almost bought as brand new one in 1995 but wanted a faster machine so I bought a Mach 1 670 instead. as far as being low production on these , I'm not sure about that, could be. There is about 5-6 of these sx in my hometown area.

I drove one before but i'm not sure of the year. It was white withe red graphics. defintly a blast to ride and really quick too. I would defintly grab it for 500 bucks but i never really like the headlight mounted on the handle bars. I think it would look better with a headlight in the hood and low windshield but thats just my $.02

The white with red would have been its little brother, the phazer. They are a 480 fan cooled i believe.

Sorry my bad. It was about three years since i last seen /drove that skidoo and after looking at some Phazer pics i can see why i'd think it was the exciter. Phazer was still a fun rig too though.
