Greetings:
Red Flash has a hankerin' for a blue Sister. I've identified a possible adoption candidate. Evidently a 1998, but 4000 miles. The pic in the ad shows it's missing a kickstarter lever. Owner said "Oh, these didn't come with a kickstarter." I played dumb - not a difficult thing for me to do, really.
Anyhow, she says the VIN is 3H1AF1600WD900***. O Great Gurus o' VINdom, can you confirm the model year?

Re: VINdication
Hey Wheelman-111, I checked the Honda parts dealer I use online and
the 1998 SA50 has the VIN # 3H1AF160WD900*** is in fact a 1998 SA50 model,
which is the Elite "SR" model.
The "S" model, or SA50P, VIN is 3H1AF161WD400***. I have
highlighted the differences. Happy for you to find such a low mileage "SR".
Happy Trails!

Thanks, Dawgs.
Only trouble is riding 'em both at the same time. Maybe weld a couple cross bars across and make them into a Quad. Like a Gyro, only one wheel better! Nah, maybe Ms. Wheelperson could get over her snooty disdain for anything less than 883ccs?

Re: VINdication
Alright, I would love to see some pics before you tear that thing apart! Good Luck Wheelman-111. I might guess you have something in mind for this already? Did you say that this 1998 is blue?Wheelman-111 wrote:Greetings:

I'm assuming at least the electric start works. If you have the funds, I say get it out of the hands of someone who doesn't appreciate and take care of it.

Good catch, EliteGuy. Thanks! "W" = 1998? It didn't occur to me that '98 was that transition year. Must be single-bearing then?
