motormike thanks for this. My aim really was to ascertain when the machine was produced. I can appreciate there is often disparity between the time when the machine was put together/manufactured and when first registered/sold. The bike was originally candy orange/gold with white stripes as per...

motormike - thankyou for your input on this. I'm convinced it is indeed an XS-1B as you mention. What's your take on its VIN being 0093## ? That's around 2200 machines into production. From the info furnished so far on this thread, would this not put the production year at last quarter of...
