Good that it went to a younger person who wants to keep it on the road. A total of 250 of the 1980 MNS and 250 of the 1981 MNS were produced. 500 total for both years.1981 XS1100H Venturer

........and is..........just an 'urban' myth, at bestOriginally posted by Prisoner6 View PostWow, that does seem like a really low number for a production run of the Midnights ...

Not that it matters, least produced AND sold model was the 81H(Venturer)........IMHO.

Does anyone really believe that there were only 250 MNS produced in each of the two model years. I can remember seeing 3 at one time in 1980 at the Yamaha dealership an acquaintance of mine owned in Cleveland, and he was not the largest dealer in town. I would venture a guess that the number was probably closer to 2500 or more per model year. Next thing you know the gold plating will be real.

No, many threads about this. Serial numbers do not coincide with the 250 number. Also somebody said one to every dealer. Thousands of dealers.1979 XS1100F

Number of MNS
I have no proof that those 250 numbers are absolute facts. It was information given to me verbally a few years back. Sounds like we need some verification to settle the dispute. I would definitely like to know for sure.
How can we find out?Last edited by MPittma100; 09-06-2014, 10:25 PM.1981 XS1100H Venturer
