Hello,

About to buy a PW50 for my daughter but have reservations about how legitimate the frame and engine numbers are, could anyone advise?

What seems to be the problem? those number look ok, the engine number should be the same but some bikes do have different numbers on the engine. What does it say in the V5?

You need to supply more information, one post question about the viability of security issues.

You could, emphasising 'could' be attempting to verify a corrupt engine number. This falls in the same category as first timers asking how you wire up the ignition.

Can you even say the age and where in the world you are......

Hello, just trying to verify the engine number of I bike I have been offered to buy. Doesn't seem to match the format of any I can find online.

Also not sure of the age as the serial doesn't seem to match any Yamaha format, I'm in the UK

Personally i don't know any  Yamaha's since the 70's that have the model name as part of the engine/chassis number.

As an example the 1980 pw50H  was prefixed 260, the following year it was prefixed 4x4. (From a 3rd party so may be incorrect, is correct re my dt)

The font looks ok though but it is missing the * that's normally present somewhere.

But that's all i got.
