BCR Mamola VIN # request.

Hi, I'm trying to help a friend on another forum.

Can a Mamola BCR owner kindly provide me the last 7 digits of the VIN number?
Or, if you don't want to give your VIN number away, can you check the bike details on the VIN decoder and just paste here the results minus said VIN?

He's trying to understand if a bike he is looking at is a real Mamola or not, since the colour code he gets for the bike when checking the VIN is blue only.

To state the obvious:

Mamola :D

Thanks!

The Mk III BCR (the RWB one) does indeed say Replika but the Mk I & II Mamola don't.

The bike he is looking at returns a normal blue colour code. I think 728.

I found othe Replika and Mamola VIN numbers on ADVRider, and the colour codes all start with 9xx.

Er-minio, tell your mate to have a look at my BCR for sale. That's genuine

yes the colour code is 916 (BMW's quip at Ducati along with using underseat pipes :) )

However, ISTR there's two types of paint code. There's the actual paint code and the scheme code, the 916 is the scheme code comprising

441 Pacific Blue 2 and 300 Alpine White 3
