Bah. It's just another '09 that's not black. They should be giving it away.

Seriously, check the actual vin on the bike. I bet it's an '08.

Or maybe traded plastics with someone who didn't know about silver being fastest...

You found the Silver Bullet! Hi-yo Silver! I would ride off and get the abs model wherever it is.

Well, I didn't make it back over to the dealer until today and naturally the bike in question had sold.  Fortunately for me they had already brought out another 2009 - this one black - and it ended up following me home.

Character #10, the one you highlighted, is the model year designator, with "9" = MY2009. So, I would assume it is an anomoly, or a wrecked bike with all body panels painted or replaced with Neutron Silver. Could it be a Canada or European bike? Not sure if Neutron Silver was offered there in '09? One last thing, and I am sure its just a typo, but your VIN has 18 digits in it. The C-14 VIN has only 17 digits. My guess is that you double-typed the "9" in question before the "A". Does it actually read, "JKBZGNB119A010XXX"?

Confidence is the feeling you have before you realize the full measure of the situation.

MUCH better! But as the owner of a black "true" '09, I am hopelessly biased.  :thumbs:
