2005 Repsol Vin Question - 1/12/2008 3:36:56 PM    vpsophmore Posts: 4719 Joined: 8/10/2006 From: ATL Status: online Firstly, I tried to use the search feature to see if this had been answered, but I couldn't find anything so if this is a redo I'm sorry. I'm going to look at a private sale on an 05 Repsol with 3500 miles... the price is good, but my question is this... how can I tell based on the VIN number that it is a true repsol and not just a regular 1000 with replaced fairings?  I figure if I'm paying a premium I want it to be worth it.  Also, I tried to find any recall info for the bike but I couldn't find anything.... where there any recalls that should be looked into before buying?  _____________________________ Gamertag: Andrewsquared Post #: 1
