I came across the old registration card for the 1983 Vision I purchased new in 1983. It has the VIN on it and I was wondering if by any chance this bike is still around. I sold it in 1987 and regretted doing so shortly there after. The VIN is JYA11H007DA100429. I finally bought another one around 2011. If you have my original one it would be interesting to see/hear where it's travels have taken it. Thanks.
Great topic Single Carb! Seems like a bit of a long shot but would be awesome to connect with that owner and learn about the bikes history since your sale. Hopefully the owner is around and can shed some light.
I figured it was worth a try. I know the bike had a little over 10,000 miles on it when I sold it in 1987. I even gave the guy the black and gold Nava Kevlar helmet I had, it went great with the bike..
If you google that VIN number, the search results contain three companies which will sell you a report about that VIN#. I don't know what the report costs or what information is in it, but it could be worth a shot.
Thanks for the info. If it doesn't sound like a rip off maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks again.
I did the Google on VIN. two came back saying no info. One said it had info for $9.95 which I would have taken a chance with but it turned out it isn't a secure site so I don't think I want to provide them with any of my info. Thanks for the suggestion though.
