Japanese Models
In Japan, the SRX was sold with a reduced displacement of 400 cc for tax reasons, or 608 cc. Also, these models featured an oil cooler. From 1988, the 2NX model was sold, which featured a 17-inch front wheel and single 320 mm brake disc. There was also an SRX 250 on the Japanese market, although this differed somewhat in the presence of a headlight fairing and electric start.
When the international marketing of the SRX stopped, in Japan there was a new production line 3VN; it received an engine derived from the newer XT600E, equipped with an electrical starter. Also, the classical twin-shock configuration was dropped for a mono shock design. This bike was produced until 1997, when production ceased. The SRX was outlived by its predecessor - the SR400 was still available in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words japanese and/or models:
“The Japanese have perfected good manners and made them indistinguishable from rudeness.”
—Paul Theroux (b. 1941)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
