Thanks bud.
I have seen the Motobecanes before and these frames originally did come from Japan. There is a little conjecture on what happened thereafter mainly with the MXDR frames but alot of them appeared in Northern Australia (Queensland) as Madison where the serial numbers were stamped on the left outer gusset.
Maybe a whole heap of frames got shipped out from Japan destined around the world and stickered up their own branding? One things for sure they are a neat looking bike.
Never new this frame to be Yamaha though. Wow! Sweet frames that's for sure.

Hi Mate, I'll see what I can do. I'll try to take a pick of it and send it as a pm. Its a decal of the Taipan snake with the Taipan lettering through it in Gold and black.
Glad you like it bro.

It looks like this is also the same as the 1981 SR Toro II. I just picked one up yesterday.
