Is there anything wrong with this Vin #? Does it looked tampered?
Thnx...

Yes.  I did a Google search on every permutation of that number and nothing popped up as stolen.  How does the title look?

No title was issued when the bike was originally sold. It is a dirt bike. I did the same search and turned up nothing. The next to last number looks weird to me...

VIN looks okay to me.

Any Honda dealer should be able to look at the VIN and tell you whether the way it looks is normal or if it looks tampered with.

If this is MN bike, it should have been DNR registered at some time in its life. Bring the VIN to the DNR (motor vehicle registration center) and have them look it up. See if the DNR registration lines up with what the seller says the bike's history is. You can also take the VIN to your local police department and ask them to run it to see if it is stolen.

If you can find out who the original selling dealer was, they maybe able to help you too. In some cases they are able to obtain MSOs for non-titled bikes.

I have had some of my bike look just like this and I was the only owner. So that is not unusual to me.  I have also seen where they are no in a perfect straight line. Some were even on Honda's.
