The 6000 was liquid and the 5000 was a free-air. When I was a kid my older brother had a 81 5000.It was quite a bit faster than the 340 Rupp yankee I had at the time! That Eltigre made an impression with me! I think the graphics were cooler than the 6000 too![/b]

I see. Much like you being partial to the 5000, I would have to be partial to the 6000, my dad got it from a friend some odd years ago, and its always been around. I don't think I've ever seen a 5000 other than in pictures.

My second sled was a 1979 enticer 340. I loved that sled, should have never sold it. Bulletproof, and quite fast for what it was. As far as favorite vintage high performance sled I voted yamaha srx. My friend had a liquid cooled black and gold one, 1980 or 81? I don't know. That thing absolutely SCREAMED. I will never forget the sound of that thing riding it at WOT. Not that reliable though, it seized up on him twice. :whatever:

I had to hit the other button as well. Would have hit Scorpion if it was there. I had an old Brutanza 292 that just plain hauled. I don't remember what year it was, but had to be before Scorpion bought out Brutanza.
