All of you experts with your encyclopedic knowledge is great. But. A pan that looks that good, even if is a "bitsa pan" or a "frankenpan", with a CLEAN TITLE is worth 6 grand all day long. That all I have to say about that.

Tell you what slick, no one here has offered themselves up as an "expert". It has been a "suggestion" of worth based upon an " interesting" title and a single pic.

So, since you are so sure that a "pan that looks that good" with a "clean title" is worth at least the amount you have stated based on that information, offer up what she believes it might be worth.

That way she, and you, will be happy.

I wonder if a previous owner somewhere down the line was asked by a clerk what model the bike was and they said Roadster, hense the RDST model on the title.

Very possible. That Oklahoma title looks just like a Tennessee title. Here the clerk will ask you what model the bike is. They put down whatever you say up to 4 characters.

Nope, just waiting for you to tell us all that you bought the bike because it it is worth what you have stated.

And please note that you are the one that offered your ego up with your statement ...."A pan that looks that good, even if is a "bitsa pan" or a "frankenpan", with a CLEAN TITLE is worth 6 grand all day long. That all I have to say about that."

So while I am unsure why you bring politiics and presidential candidates into this discussion, I would suggest that your closing statement is more 'Trump speak' than anything here posted so far. So just keep throwing $hit against the wall. I am sure some of it will stick and you and your minions can then claim it as 'fact'.

If you google "VIN DRF" you will find that they are very common, and not just on bikes...evidently it was done by California Department of Revenue before they started doing "blue tags"
