Did you notice the change in vin stampings? The older bikes look hand-stamped, whereas the mid-year 2014 frame vin's look like they were made with some automated CNC, machining them in the frame. Also, LAP had 006 for sale two months ago with over 1000 demo miles on it.
To be honest, I never paid attention to the stampings but that's a great observation.Originally Posted by buell-fan
Going from memory (so don't quote me exactly), I think the LAP bike #006 was a red SX. I know the owner of the yellow RX #006, and it was bought from ECC in California, where it sat for about a year and a half. It only had 2 miles on it at time of purchase.
I may be wrong as to the vin, but it definitely is strike yellow with the blue ignition key and blue fork caps of their first run demo bikes. Maybe it was renumbered as a production bike as you were saying earlier.
I think I know the one you're talking about. Mine was on eBay initially, and after I bought it, I think they used the same pics to sell the next yellow RX. I remember it having lots of miles on it, but after it had been up for a bit and I noticed it, I sent LAP an email to let them know that the bike would be a little different from the pics and they changed the pics to correct it. Thanks, I had forgotten about that.
Thanks for the great info.
I think one of mine is #09 Yellow . Found its way to Australia, or did they run another set of numbers ?
Australian bikes got their own set of production numbers, as did Europe. American bikes have one production sequence split among 2 market codes (49 or 50 state bikes).
Enjoy that yellow RX - it is the best color, of course!
Whoops already posted , but checked it ends in 006 not 009 .
