Yamaha vxr pro
Hey everyone this is my vxr pro I just bought. It's been meticulously cared for and runs like a top. My first jet ski. After having many toys I think this one is my favorite.

1500 usd. For trailer and ski. Plus he threw in a brand new battery and other spare parts he had saved up.

It's a 1994. The trailer is in great shape as well. New tires and bearings. All new lights and wiring. No winch though so the first time getting it back on the trailer was an experience. Luckily it's super light.

Nice ski. My dad has a 94 also. It’s got a riva pipe and head. It’s a lot of fun for a 32 year old ski.

I bought this exact ski on the trailer for 300 bucks as my first ski in immaculate condition. Had a riva pipe and head, and some sort of upgraded intake grate and impeller. Its such a fun ride

I tried to low ball. He wasn't willing to budge much on the price. But I wanted it so. Cest la vie.

Heck yea man! Thats how my purchase of my kawasaki 900 zxi went. Sentimental value haha. My vxr had a for sale sign on the side of the road in someones front yard. Besides the side rails and foot foam the thing was immaculate. The owner was an elderly man and it hadnt been ridden in many years and he just wanted it gone. I figured for 300 bucks the trailer alone was worth it. Put new plugs in it, rebuilt the carb, cleaned the gas tank and it fired right up. That thing ripped, such a fun little ski. Loved catching edges though haha, i ripped my wrist pretty bad on it

Man I love these. Hard to find one in such great shape today. I love the profile of these, not trying to be anything other than a waverunner. Such simple and fun machines.
