Speaking of VIN #'s...
« on: July 16, 2007, 02:11:49 AM »
...in one of the threads a few months ago, someone mentioned that the VIN's were in production order.  Is it the last 2, 3, 4 digits?  The digits after the zeros?  Mine ends in 00196...#196?

I believe the first 12 letters and numbers are ID codes, for things like model, year, paint color, etc... and the final 5 numbers are the production order.

So yes, your bike would be the 196th of that model/year to come off the assembly line.

I think it's kinda cool to have a '07 B1250, sorta like having a 64 1/2 Mustang.  :bandit:

Ahhhh, nice car.  My buddy found a convertable, w/ ac, sitting on the side of the road for sale.  Bought it on the spot.  I never get those deals.  My favorite is the 69 Boss.  I'd give my left...side...to have a 429.  Hmmm, some of my favorite things start with "B"; Boss, Bandit, Beachcraft, blo...

Just cuz it's fun to pick on you...  :stickpoke:

The 64.5 Stang was the original. The B1250 is far from the original Bandit...

So it'd hafta be more like the 70.5 Camaro.  :wink:

I didn't say the original Bandit. I said B1250.  :bandit:

I also said "kinda" and "sorta like".  :roll:  

But I'll go along with the 70 1/2 Camaro comparison, just to make ya feel better.  :lol:

So, I wonder if it's the 196th Bandit, or 196th ABS Bandit?!  This stuff is important you know!
