DT1 VIN number question

[fatboy570]

A friend of mine just bought a DT1 frame and engine numbers DT1F189252. Have had no luck determining year of this bike. I can find DT1 E but no F model. I think it is a 71 but not sure. The local Yamaha dealer cant even find it. Any help? Thanks

Thanks, VintageDirt. Looks like it is a 72 DT2M, if I am reading right. Thanks again
