Brian,
as it does not match to any known series number, it seems to me like pre-production series or even prototypes like automobilmakers are doing it I worked 35 years for.  This might be possible as the bike was provided for press-usage.

greetings

Jürgen

Hi Brian, ich think so too, but ich have a friend, he has a man in nederland, he is a specialist from yamaha europe, and, perhaps, he can help. He is very good in history of yamaha.  I have send the picture to him, so he can ask him. We will see, what happen.....

Hi Klaus.

Very kind of you to try that. I realize it might not be possible to get any further information about it, but would be fun if I could track down a bit more of the back story.

The Problem , of the number, that do not match, with the normaly typ number, of the TR1 5A8 will be,
that you must change the frame.  Frames, with paper´s are no Problem, i have any frames with legal papers, but  i think, the best way, is, the Machine let, as shown ! It´s really rar!

When i have answer, i will tell it you quickly.

Thanks Klaus.

I have also contacted the magazine that it was reviewed in to hear if they know anything about what happened with it.
I could of course build it up on a frame with papers, but that would lose a bit of it's charm and history.
