Back on but with 99p start - be interesting to see what it goes for as previously up for £1800 > £1650

update !!
ive emailed rs performance 6 TIMES!!!??? :crazy: and had no response / so still none the wiser as to how to confirm as to how to prove whether or not mine ( or infact anyones aniversary model /special comemorative ,supposedly lusted after limited edition ? vtr / vfr/ fireblade ,etc,etc )is genuine ???

bit of a joke really , if they dont get back to me "HOW DO YOU PROVE" ?? as they did the conversion..
the 50TH part on mine was a bonus to the parts bin of a bike that mine is , but if you have a showroom condition as released version i would be a bit pissed off that there is no other way to prove it being genuine .
maybe a little pressure from other 50th owners would prompt a response ?? :thumbup:

On my search for info there was a forum thread where a VFR owner was getting no satisfaction from RS on the same question if his bike was a genuine 50th anniversary model.

Maybe Honda UK could help http://www.honda.co.uk/contactus/

its crazy that no one can confirm what engine numbers or chassis numbers were the limited edition, i honestly think though that there wont be any fakes out there....its a lot of hassle to go to in order to make it exactly the same!
