Hello All,
I am on the verge of purchasing a 1200 mile 2003 T-100.
I noticed that the VIN number listed on the Title matched the VIN number on the steering yoke sticker but did not match the number imbossed on the engine. Are the numbers supposed to match or am I too old school?
Thanks,
jaysray :???:

The numbers on my 04 don`t match either. I bought it new from a dealer and watched them pull it from the box. Welcome to the club.

Thanks Moto-thought I was going crazy, always thought the motor matched the frame.

Thanks. When you say off by 103, is the motor higher?
The engine on this bike has a later (or higher) number than the frame.
