Depends on the model of the bike. But part of the frame no. generally relates to the age.

Here is the number i got from it: MX125AE008136

Any chance someone knows what year this is?

Would you not have to do an hpi check to be sure?

I assume that the bike needs to be registered in the country before it gets onto any database.

So is it a Yamaha MX125? Might be worth finding a Yamaha forum and asking there...

In that case, pop into your local Halfords or bike shop, and take a peek in the Haynes manual. You might need to discretely take off the protective wrapping though. Rolling Eyes

You sure its not MX125A-008136 which would suggest its a 1988 bike MKX125A3 (23.7bhp model)
according too...
