Hello Everyone,
I've found a 2006 Triumph Speed Triple with 13,500 miles for 4,895$ at a dealership.
Looking at the instaVIN check I've seen that some 2006 Speed Triple were recalled.
This is what actually the VIN says for the bike. Do you know if this means the bike has been serviced and recalled or should I worry about it?
Thanks so much for your help!
