    I know someone can bail me out here... I´m purchasing a bike (1981 yamaha xj750 seca) from my neighbors son who now resides in California. Since his move he has lost all paperwork on it but I still need to get a title to plate the thing. To make an EXTREMLY long story short, where can I find the VIN on this bike? The VIN on the sticker has song since worn off due to cable chaff and I see no stamping for it. Any help here? Thanks, Moondine

    I often see this as a strange subject for bikes. I dont understand why a bike with 30,000 miles is seen as a bad thing if it has been looked after, services by a dealer and is most importantly straight! Cars now do 100,000 fine without issues! I use my bike almost everyday for work and i do about 80miles a day to and from work and although yes i know it wil be worth less but surely the enjoyment from getting out there on a top class bike and enjoying it is better than worrying about the mileage on it each time. And wouldnt a bike thats used more often be ridden more concervativly as they need the reliability out of it rather than tearing the nuts off it every odd…
