I can vouch for the official H M S badging and dash plaque. The serial number 00-01 indicates that 600 package was the first one done in the year 2000 ie 00=year 2000, 01=1st one done that year. I doubt very seriously if it has been run a 1/4 mile at a time. If anything, like my 650R #02-01(done 1/7/02) it has been extremely well cared for.
