1978 yz 80, thats all you will get. Its not a vin in the modern sense, its a model code, the 2J5, followed by basically the build number. 

Unlikely they made 18000+ yz 80's in one model year so i would expect it to be number 220 maybe, even 8000+ in one year is a stretch for a pure race bike.

Hi!

You can decode your 9 digit VIN here :https://impreso.no/yamaha/9vin/

It says: YZ80 Year: 1978 Country(s): USA CANADA EUROPE OCEANIA JAPAN VIN from: 2J5000101 to VIN 2J5100000

Even got images of it!
