04/05 R1 Identification

[cloudhopper]

Hi all,

Looking at getting a 04 or 05 R1 and now know the different colour schemes for those years ,

but have noticed some dealers are advertising(and pricing) their bikes on year registrated and not year of manufacture.

I 'm keen on the Lava red ones which were available both years,so which digit/s on the ident plate tell me year model and if it's a uk model

thanks

I don't know about year but if it is a UK one it will have an Imobaliser on it, with a red light that comes on rev counter at the bottom when you switch the igniton on

I think all the european models have an immobiliser fitted and the same colours as the uk, but are some of them restricted power wise?
