Super Jet 2014 Superjet

[N3vrSat1sfied]

Glad they are still making them for sure, but I think it would be fun to to have a "build your own new standup" thread - What could you build for $9600 with brand new aftermarket hull and components?
I think I would go A/M for sure.

X2, no way would I spend 10k on a stock superjet, when you can buy a decent (used) A/M ski for that, or put that money towards a A/M build.

However, I am glad yamaha is still making them, but I wont be buying one. lol

If i had the spare money after an a/m hull build i would but that aint gonna happen lol

$8500? dayum!
bng's are ok but at least yami is still building a standup unlike "cough" kawi.
how do they get around the 2 stroke ban?

I dont know how they did it, but apparently you're ok as long as its 06+

YAMAHA
All Yamaha models 2006 and later and the following Yamaha PWCs have an emission level compliant with 2006
EPA standards and are therefore permitted on Lake Mead and Lake Mohave.

Actually only the 06-11 superjets are legal. 12+ are "competition use only" and they don't meet the standard which I think is total BS. But the park service hasn't found that loophole and I don't think they will find it for a while.

I dig the new graphic on the 14, it looks good. Hopefully they are still making them in 2016. I'd like to get one after I graduate.

Stoked!!!!!!!!! Ordered mine this am! Sure I could go aftermarket, but I like the idea of a close to stock superjet (prorbably do pipe and a couple of things).

I just couldnt justify spending that kind of cash on a stock ski, especially if you are going to mod it anyways, why not find a really clean but lightly used stock ski? If you start out close to 10k and put 2-3k in mods on it, well good luck getting 13k back out of it, if you do it right a 5-6k superjet will almost always be worth 5-6k. Maybe its just me, and maybe its the fact ive never owned any type of vehicle thats new, but I just cant see it.

Sorry, me no likey the new graphics. And wish they would do low profile hood with handholds. Everything else they got right....

i was thinking the same thing once I graduate college and finish my football career I'd like to get a brand new SJ

That fact that they are still making them is fantastic, because that means that they'll still be making replacemnet parts for at least another 10 yrs and thats whats really important

Love the graphics. Way to go Yamaha

 

[JMew03]

I was told you have to get a racing license to purchase one

No where in the paperwork on the ski does it say anything about closed course competition only. When you go in to register the ski no red flags will pop up.

 

[Midlake Crisis]

B-Pipes are for competition use only too . . . . .

 

[djraider700]

Buddy of mine just bought a 2013. Had to register for racing license. Its like 45 bucks and you can still register them as a regular pwc.

 

[tshank123]

Whats a racing license? An IJSBA membership?

 

[naticen]

That 2006 and newer compliant stuff is hilarious. Did they even change the graphics, let alone anything else in 2006? I also wonder why Yamaha sticks with it. I imagine Scott Watkins keeping it alive as a personal cause. Whatever the case, I'm happy.

 

[djraider700]

The emission compliance difference its the "tamper proof" caps on the carb adjustment screws.

 

[yzrider926]

Registered my 13 no problems. I also saw the racing license thing but the dealer never mentioned it.

 

[mthomps]

If i had the means I'd buy a 2014 superjet in a heartbeat! Aftermarket stuff is cool, but for me nothing would beat owning a BRAND NEW oem superjet.

Im totaly psyched the SJ is back for another year, but am surprised of no changes.... you should think a lowered hood/noise piece would be standard. Or footholds standard?
No complaints though as long as Yami keeps pushing them out. There is several 12's and 13's around me all had no issues registering

X2, no way would I spend 10k on a stock superjet, when you can buy a decent (used) A/M ski for that, or put that money towards a A/M build.

They aren't selling enough new SJs to justify the change. kawi is already out of the game so Yamaha has the market right now just like they did with Japanese 2 stroke dirt bikes. The lack of sales and people complaining about the price as it is isn't going to justify the R&D for footholds and lowered hood just to raise the price and still not make enough sales. Some people would rather have a Superjet than an aftermarket hull and some people would rather buy a brand new ski rather than taking a risk with used. Anytime anyone mentions buying a brand new SJ on here someone tries to talk them out of it and buy a used ski. We should be encouraging them to buy a new SJ just to keep Yamaha selling them and to keep the constant flow of used SJs in our market. I ride with a guy that bought a new 2013 SJ and he loves it! No problems registering it either
