We've learned that Yamaha begins each model year with the last 4 digits beginning with 0101.
Also, Canadian bikes are numbered independently from those in the USA but also begin with 0101.

.

 

[PATMAX]

Good info to know. Thanks! I can't believe how early that Canadian bike is, what a find!
Hope this thread never dies.

 

[Ost85vmax]

#4009

Modmoney got it like crazy! Great runner.

 

[Norms 427]

Pat, yeah V4bandit's bike #0102 looks like it was the 2nd one made for Canada.

Ost85vmax, I got you on the list. Thanks for posting.

You're on The List. Thanks for posting!

[SvenDGAF]

Mine is Canadian too,, just noticed people making a point of mentioning it. I was wondering if we ought to add where the bike is currently located too, just as a matter of interest to the list maybe?

Sven, I noted above that yours is a Canadian bike. We've learned that the VIN #s are numbered independently in Canada from the USA.

It seems like a good idea to add where the bike is currently located but it would take a lot of posting to get all that info on the list. ?

[JRE-77]

I believe that Sandy Kosman still has the 1st 85 Vmax test mule that was raced by Jay Gleason. This could possibly be the lowest # 1985 Vmax around.

[NHVmaxpower]

:eusa_dance:I am working on a 1985 #835 off the production line. The owner is its second he baught it in 1986 w/ 1000 miles she now has 12,000 miles & is completley stock untouched..unk:

John Furber has the Takin it to the 9's bike that they used in the magazine if that is the one your talking about.

 

[Fire-medic]

John Furber has the Takin it to the 9's bike that they used in the magazine if that is the one your talking about.

Pretty-sure those are two different bikes. I subscribed to the magazine then, it was a great read. They said the Kawi Eliminator turbo was the most potential, but it spun a bearing or something. The VMax was much-easier to launch than the GSXR1100.

I could put #835 under your name on the list but it might be better if the owner gave us his vmaxforum username ... ?

Thanks

[Jhavens]

#4301 -- jhavens, stock, runner

**12K miles, US(1FK)

***Edit, sorry, I had read it wrong, I was looking at the last three digits, not 4, updated with correct number.

 

[Norms 427]

jhavens, you're on The List. With only 12k miles on it I'm sure it's in nice condition.
