Will CarFax be able to see if it is a salvage or been in a wreck?
I know for a fact that they will be able to tell if the bike has ever had a salvage title (been totaled and rebuilt). The wrecked part is a crap shoot, sometimes yes, sometimes no. It will depend on a number of things. If the original owner repaired it and then kept it for a while it may not show up (as long as it was not labeled as totaled) but if the owner wrecked it and sold it while it was still wrecked it should.

If you run a report, I'd like to hear what it comes back with. With 720 miles I guess I'd like to know if it was wrecked or owned by someone just so they could tell others "I own a Harley-Davidson".

Good luck.

And I'm sure Yellowtang is just giving you a hard time cause it's a V-Rod.

Nevermind - a photo shows all 17 VIN numbers.

What is the difference between a VRSCA and VRSCB? I am not sure which one it is. Can someone tell me?

The A has more chrome and a different handlebar and instrument cluster configuration.

The sixth digit tells the model type.

I see what you mean, they forgot the "H" as the fifth digit in the description.

There are three reasons for the low mileage: wrecked, scared the crap out the "rider", poser owner that really doen't want to ride. I've seen a couple of riders new to V-rods, or just big bikes or even brand new riders scare themselves on a V. Not just just V-rods, I've seen happen on just about everything over 500cc.
The A and B are essentially the same bike. Different frame and engine colors. More paint on the B. The R is the sport bike of the V-rods, The D is the cuiser/tourer, the DX is the show bike (more like a B than a D), the X was the limited production street fighter with the 1250cc, the SE was the A/B also with the 1250cc engine. The AW is the A with paint and a wider rearend. I think I covered them all.

Bought the black VRod below. Vin checked out, and the seller checked out with the BBB fwiw. Looking forward to getting it and customizing it, although I do not expect to do too much.
