  1. I checked the VIN for the 1098r Bayliss I'm about to purchase and it returned a 2008 year model.. Is this right? Can other 1098r Bayliss owners in the forum share what their VIN numbers show.. Cheers

  3. That's what I read too.. The base 1098r was 08-09 model. Is it possible that the bike was manuf in 08 but only launched in 09?

  4. What does it say on the logbook, as to what model it is?

  5. I would have thought they were made late 08. However they have the 09 DTC from the 1198S. This differs from the original Red 1098R's made in 08. I wouldn't worry too much on when it was Manufactured, just when it was actually road registered. All/ most Bayliss 1098R's should be registered 09.
