Side plastics are '82 and later, as is the Monoshock setup. Has to be a YZ490, as the 250 was water cooled by '82. Exhaust was run to the right side by '84, so I'm saying '82-83 Yamaha YZ490, which is why both Duke boys look like they are about to crash. That bike was a killer. I wonder who started the bikes for them...
