Number 3383 safe & sound in my drive supposably just needs carbs cleaned & new battery. Pretty much stock besides a cosmetic. Baffles been drilled,drag bars, 94 paint set,blacked out,progressive fork springs,new clutch,braided clutch line,corbin seat,mini windscreen,mini turn signals. Overall looks like a pretty nice bike. I did not think I would like all the matt black but I do. It will probably be for sale soon.

 

[Norms 427]

I put you in, Captain.

Congratulations on another '85. It looks different but cool.

#1301 modified.. but was the first one ever in Johnstown PA

 

[PATMAX]

Huh, just checked the list for any consecutive numbered bikes. I would have thought we'd see that. I suppose there is a "cool" factor if they were owned by the same person. Maybe soon.

Presumably you meant duplicate numbered, not consecutive? :biglaugh:

donnelly317, I just added you to the list in post #182. Thanks for posting.

donnelly317, I just added you to the list in post #182. Thanks for posting.

Yes sir thanks

 

[donnelly317]

Yes sir thanks

forgot to add 17000 original miles

 

[Chopcor]

1985 #2834 28k original miles, one owner, totally stock- Bringing it home on Saturday

 

[PATMAX]

Consecutive is one number followed by the next numerical value. Like 6 and then 7 or 3027 then 3028. Duplicate is the same number which I doubt ever happens on bike serial numbers from the factory but I suppose it could happen. Just not likely. Collectors commonly look for "consecutively numbered" vehicles and not just two vehicles but possibly more! That brings to another question. Do you think Yamaha sent two or more consecutively numbered Maxes to the same dealership? If so, the chances of them being in the same town are much better I suppose. Guess we will never know. Wish we had a dealership insider on the forum!


When in doubt...Gas it !!!

 

[gamorg02]

i thought what u meant was 2 different people claiming the same vin so they had both owned the same bike at different times.

 

[Norms 427]

Chopcor, you're added and congrats on scoring a nice '85.

The list keeps growing!

i thought what u meant was 2 different people claiming the same vin so they had both owned the same bike at different times.

Exactly what I thought. That is how it was worded.

And, yes, I know the meaning of the words.

Consecutive is one number followed by the next numerical value. Like 6 and then 7 or 3027 then 3028. Duplicate is the same number

I thought those numbers might be nice to have for the list

 

[Norms 427]

I thought those numbers might be nice to have for the list

I think the list started out to be forum members posting their VINs. Let's hope the new owners of these 85s join the forum and post. ?

Thanks!

 

[naughtyG]

With those asking prices I can't see either having a new owner anytime soon..

 

[gamorg02]

that 'stock' ish one still has the original tires. damn!
