The easiest way
to spot an older Minsk is that the control panel
– where the speedometer is – comprises of two
round tubes whereas the newer ones just have one
rectangular box.
The serial
number stamped onto the steering column of the
left hand side of the bike has a code to say how
old the bike is. The eighth last character – its
a letter – denotes the year of manufacture as
follows. ‘L’ is 1990, ‘M’ is 1991, ‘N’ is 1992,
‘P’ is 1993, ‘R’ is 1994, ‘S’ is 1995, ‘T’ is
1996, ‘V’ is 1997, ‘W’ is 1998, ‘X’ is 1999 and
‘Y’ is 2000.
The engine is
easier to date as the last two characters
inscribed on it on the left hand side are
numbers like '94' or '96'.
