VIN Numbers on older bikes

[BobC]

Hi I'm a new member with a request.

I've a 400 Special II that has a model number I cann't find on the web

the bike was made 12 /80 Does that mean a model year of 80 or 81 ??

The VIN is JYA4R400 BAOD6740

it has alloy wheels Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks BobC
