I've been looking around on offerup trying to find a cheap cruiser to replace my old tired yam (83 XS400K maxim) and I found one that claims to be an "850cc maxim" and the best part is the guy is willing to trade bikes sight unseen because he needs cash ASAP. the only 'problem' I have is that from what I can tell, yamaha never made an 850 inline 4....
I assume I'm actually looking at an XS1100 and that just sweetens the deal, but I'm desperate to know the EXACT year and model so i know what I'm looking at. I asked the guy for the VIN but he gave me some weird 9 digit code that he found on both the fork AND the engine and this is it; 4h7-009793
Does that look like a VIN to anybody else? I don't know what that number is but I know I have one like it on the motor of my XS400K so it has to mean something.
I'm including pics of the mystery bike from the listing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
