Hi Steve,

just registered in the forum - usually on the 350 side.... Seriously considering buying a 500, supposelly a sarron replica (at least as the paint job of it :) ). My question is if there's any way of tracking down the bikes that were originally sold as a Sarron replica? From what I've heard, must be a 47X, year 85 and 86... And was it a limited edition or they sold as many as they could???

Thanks for everything!
manuel

Hi manuel

A Sarron replica would only be a 1GE bike that was sold in 1986.Only around 50 of these bikes were sold by Sonauto Yamaha (Yamaha France)

These bikes were unsold German spec bikes painted in Sarron colours to help sell them.(by 1986 Yamaha were finding it hard to sell remaining stock as the FZ750 was the bike to have :sad: )

If you PM me the vin number i will check my database for details.

Regards

Steve
