No pictures,but my father owned one from 1989 to 1995,long track.Great sled to learn on,really good at hauling fire wood.This is the sled we replaced it with in 1995.12000+ kms and many slide loads of wood,much better than the bravo.Picture was taken yesterday.P.S new four-stroke bravo in 2010,dealer told me.He was right about the venture light in 2005.

Nice pics. It would be nice to see the Bravo chassis stay the same. Just make a direct bolt-in replacement for the 2 stroke they have now.

New chassis,new motor .The whole line will be four-stroke so the new bravo will be a single or double cylinder,just the question of what type of cooling,liquid or fan?

The enticer II was only sold in the U.S for a few years but was sold in canada up to 2000.Paid for itself years ago.The reverse system is way better than whats on my warrior.

Guys i just found out last week that Karl Ishima, the project leader (engineer) of the Bravo (and VK 540 / VK Pro) is retiring this month. They are having a party for him at factory and I have been asked to gather some stories or comments to be presented to him in a kind of Japanese 'roast'...
any of you guys have anything you would like say to a very fine gentleman who spent his whole career engineering our sleds?? I'd be pleased to pass along.
cheers cr

Tell Mr Ishima our 1990 Bravo LT we had for 6 seasons payed for itself in the many cords of firewood it hauled in the deep woods of southern newfoundland while consuming only a couple litres of fuel.I can recall many trips me and my father would embark on in which i would ride two-up with him,listen to that 250cc single working hard as it pulled a sleigh carrying our days work in the form of firewood along with a chainsaw,chain lube/fuel,and axe in its ample cargo rack with room to spare.Climbing many hills me and my older brother would be amazed at the sure-footed nature of the Bravo when side-hilling many steep slopes,while at the same time giving us a dependable,light weight machine.Many thanks Mr Ishima on a great design .

Hey Maim
Looks like we have the same setup. Enticer II is great machine, I have 14000 hard kms on mine and still going. The only thing I have done to engine is change the recoil rope and clean the carb once. Replaced the track years ago to a camoplast 1'' paddle, it was like going from 2 wheel drive to 4x4.
