2003 limited edtion Hayabusa

[janik416]

I have a 2003 all black hayabusa limited edtion. I was reading that it is the Europe model and that only 140 were made. Is this true?

 

[zukracer]

no way of telling unless you check the VIN. I do not think the 140 is accurate for the all black LE, though in the EU perhaps, definitely sounds low for US production.

oh yeah

I have an 02 limited edition, midnight black. I'd like to know as well. Keep me in the loop.

The black LE was not produced in the US in 03 as far as I know.. It was sold in Canada but not the US..

As far as numbers? Who knows? ??? It would be a great to find out REAL production numbers of the LE's and especially the 03 40th AE.. I wish I would have never sold mine.. At least it went to a good home..

So you live in the states? Original owner? speedo in mph not km? I'm on the road trucking right now but I was thinking that the build date is on the Vin tag on the left side of the frame, not sure though. As far as decoding the Vin # no clue to that at all..

 

[janik416]

Not to be the negative one here, but if your not the first owner it is possible the plastics where switched out...

That's why I asked all the above questions.. But he never answered any of them..

So I

 

[janik416]

Didnt we already play the how many LE's are there game? My 06 is an "LE" now, wasnt born that way. A bit of paint on the frame and nobody would be the wiser. Just sayin...

Welcome to the .org and the bike is lookin good. I would take the vin to the dealer and have them run it for you or you could try to look it up on the internet. Good luck with the search.

 

[janik416]

I understand when people say that it could have painted or platics changed. Which i wouldnt understand because It would just be cheaper to paint it urself oem stupid expensive for original. To me its not life or death if it is or isnt i already repainted it. It would just be a fun fact to know!!!

Welcome very clean and nice looking bike.I always believe OEM paint is better and much more durable and valueable.
