Not sure on the markings but it's a very early VIN so originals pipes could have had different markings by Honda but at 23k miles you would doubt that they are the originals. Not exactly sure but I reckon that bike was sold by David Silver a few months back (he certainly had a very early VIN Candy Jet Green one with similar mileage). At the time it was prepped for sale they stripped the bottom end and I recommended that they renew the problematic needle roller bearing. They commented that they noticed that the bearing was an unusual design but looked OK visually so they didn't change it. IMHO that was false economy/penny pinching seeing as they had quite a few NOS ones in stock.
