Smile Hello from the caribbean and help!

Hello guys,

I'm new to the forum and was glad to finally create a member after finding such great topics and information being new in the motorcycle world.

Some days ago I found this bike in a repair shop near my place which I am asking you guys to help me identify it, I am very intersting in the bike, engine sounds great. For me its a VT 600 probably 99 or 00 with a custom exhaust. I am thinking of buying it to restore it. Can you confirm what kind of bike this is? Probably year and model?



Thanks in advance for the help

Can you get the VIN? If you can get the VIN, there are several sites online that you can use to determine the basic information -- year, make, model.

I'm guessing '97 or older. The side covers are molded into the rear fender.

It's an older vt/VLX 600...can tell its older model by the rear fender/brake light

Hello Guys, I was checking the bike again but I couldnt find the Chassis Vin Number, only the engine number, the serial is: PC21E-290XXXX any ideas?

I also made new pics and a video, I think the first mod will be to cut off the muffler since I don't like the sound a lot..

Check this out, I will take it soon, the shop is going to polish the engine and parts that might be rust, change the spark plugs, battery and a proper overall cleaning.

You guys know where can I find a speedo? The bike is missing it.

Here are two pics of the bike and a quick video.
