Hello all,
Glad to join you. You all seem very interesting and knowledgeable. I just picked up a with badging on the side that says special 400. The numbers stamped into the neck are 4R4-000135. Can't really tell what year it is. The sticker doesn't seem to have it on there clearly to me. It does say manufactured by yamaha motor co, 7/80.
Is it actually an 80'? I didn't think they had the "special" badges until 82'. Whats your thoughts? Definitely not the model year the guy i got it from thought it was.
