Red face VIN check anyone?

So this might be a little OT but I'd thought I'd ask my fellow 2nd Gen Dodge Ram owners for a little help....I am looking into a bike and was wondering if ANYONE could run a VIN for me?!?

If not that is fine and I will just register with Carfax but if you can help me...thank you...thank you!

The bike VIN is: JKBVNCA15VA051873 any information you can give me on it would be great!!!

Thanks again in advance!

NVM then, I was hoping you were going to say HD or Buell, I have a friend that works at the local dealer here.
Have you tried vulcan's website?

Well no one volunteered to look it up for me but Carfax teaser said 2 records and it has had 2 owners...so I assume that is the records from DMV...I hope!

I took a look at it and fell it love, what an awesome bike! I will be picking it up Wednesday! I can't wait!

He should be glad he didn't. A buddy I used to work with had a Buell for a bit when I first started working with him. That thing was a POS. It sounded awesome but it was always broken. He finally sold it. He had several other brands of bikes and liked the Japanese bikes.

The owners of the place we worked had HD's. They seemed better but not much. He would brag how he had all this money into it and all this work done and about the hp numbers it would put down. Then would go on to the top speed. I almost fell over laughing. He had a ton of money into it and it was still a bike that vibrated horrible, had a ton of money into, handled like crap, and was still slow with low hp numbers.

I'm more of a sport bike man. I have a 04 R1 myself and love it. Not a huge Yamaha man but I love this bike.

If I was to get a cruiser though it would be a Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, or Suzuki.

Maybe and this is a big maybe a BMW. My uncle has had a few and they seem to have reliability issues too but ride very nicely.

A HD or Buell bike would be on the bottom of my list. The only thing good about them is the sound and that you get to say you have a HD.

Oh I will and a movie! Sometime I might want a HD but they cost too much...cost too much to repair and vibrate like a b*#$%! I tease a manager I work with asking him when he would upgrade to a Honda Golden Wing for comfort over his HD...lol...he doesn't smile on that!
