With the vin number on the steering head tube,
I have a ktm dirt bike trying to find out the year the number is ktm8701*45853*
Find the serial number on the engine, call up a motorsports place and they should be able to tell you what year the bike was made.

Yamaha dealerships can assist with any questions relating to a bike. The company can let a person know how to find out the year and model of a bike owned. The dealership usually assist with any repairs as well.
I you consult that bike to the nearest police station and you will find out that your bike is stolen or not.
take a look at the chase number on the bike, google "where to find chase number on..." and then google VIN number check and find a free one. put in your chase number and there you go.
3RB-012812 is not a frame number for a 250 Yamaha dirt bike; it's a motor number. To find out the model year and frame, you need the frame number.
You have to get the serial number off the bike it self. It should be on the neck of the bike.
look on the front on the frame you will see a vin numberwrite that down and call a dirt bike mechanic or call suzuki
