I have been offered a Yamaha 115 V4 in great order, should I buy it bearing in mind it looks old. The casing is the older more seventies looking metallic blue and the decals are white stickers whilst there is a chrome/silver plastic badge on the back. The engine is wider and less tall than pics I have seen of more recent Yamahas!

is the year encrypted in the serial number? ie when I look at it will I see two eights together and assume it is 1988?

What is the full SN? You should be able to decode the year from it.
