Advice on year please gents

[jamie]

Hey everyone,

      this is my first post for help on here so be gentle please, I'm looking to buy a 350lc and came across a 250lc on ebay that looked good for parts as no one has bid on it.


the bit I need help with is the year of the bike??? its been years since I had an lc but I'm sure they finished the 4lo and 4l1in 1983?? is this correct please.


the bike ive seen on e-bay has this reg number - C246OCF - in my head this makes the bike year 1985 ?


can anyone confirm if this is correct or am I starting to lose my marbles??

Your right mate a c reg is an 85 so may be a late registered bike or maybe imported in 85

The reg number certainly relates to a 250 Yamaha ..

Possibly late registered, best to ask the seller if they can explain the late plate & then decide

[shaunthe2nd]

Late registered and had a colour change surely! Bloody purple!!!

thanks guys never gave the import a thought, that could be why its a late reg

[rigga]

Mines a 1980 build, but registered 1982 as it was a racer from new, many reason's why its on a C plate

I had a (h reg) 250 a while back.

I've seen a D reg one before that looked like a late registered bike from Germany

Think also dva were a bit slacksometimes with what they registered and with what date
