Just got this bike and have never seen a three digit engine number on a bike.Yamaha UK does not seem to know or anybody else I asked.Has anyone out there come across this before?Thanks

Hi my name is tommy been a member of yoc for about three years, see how easy that is!!!

Hi Tommy,once had the xs 250 a long time ago,liked it.Do you know why my bikes engine number is so short?

I see that was a bit to subtle, l will also give you the benefit of the doubt seeing as you, made the effort with two post so your not a one hit wonder then you'll find you get a much better response if you do an intro in the new members sec before you start asking questions. The answer to your last question though is no, but someone on here will know whether they tell will depend on your intro 

Welcome to yoc hope you stick around thats an interesting bike you have, I think the vision is a USA model over here it was just called the xz550

Also had a xv 750,I like yamaha.There have some nice design advantages over honda which is my normal fair.

Just found out Yamaha in Japan do not use all the long numbers.Hope I can get this kettle of fish on the road.Its been interesting
