It's a GT80C the same as mine, crank cases bare, clutch / flywheel covers silver paint, GT1 prefix is 367 all GT80 used same prefix 374, I think GTMX80 used 367 prefix also, most US models used short seat, OZ model GT had long seat, MX had short seat, late model GT80's had different prefix also.  

[frostype400]

but frame prefix is same as mine and i know for a fact mine is 74 whats the go there dont doubt that it is gt80c tanks and even gt80c did sometimes have the double seat are all gt80's prefix 374

if you want to know what model you have for sure, just ring up a good yamaha dealer with the engine and frame number, they will tell you for sure, too easy

gt80's come in two variables because there is just gt80a then gt80mxa gt80c and gt80mxc which has small seat and most common i was just wondering why does my gt80a long seat type have same prefix as that ebay one because i know mine is a 74 model i have evidence to prove it this link off yamaha tells the two different models thats why the double seat is so rare i need a yamaha guru to tell me am i stupid thinking that that is not gt80c but in fact gt80a becuase i have got a gt80a in the shed with the same prefix that is all original every one at the moment is sort of right definetley c model tank and could be gt80c the prefix has me thinking as i have looked at prefixs for a while and i think that one is a gt80a with gt80c cosmetics either way it was a good buy i wonder who bought it thanks for the input guys does any one know if the prefix on gt80a and gt80c are the same as i think they are different thanks Michael.
