The 2005 GSX-R1000 frames of Yoshimura Suzuki’s Aaron Yates and Ben Spies that were found to be missing their Vehicle Indentification Numbers (VIN) after the races at Daytona International Speedway were otherwise legal, according to AMA Pro Racing. “It’s a little bit silly to worry too much about those things as long as the frames meet the production specifications, which they did. That (missing VINs) kind of triggered us to go ahead and do some measuring while we were at Daytona. Everything looked fine from what our tech guys could see,” AMA Pro Racing Road Race Series Manager Ron Barrick told Roadracingworld.com in a telephone interview Thursday. “Don Sakakura (Yoshimura Suzuki Team Manager) said that they were pre-production frames. Obviously, they weren’t able to get regular production bikes as early as they would like to get started working on the bikes. I think even the Corona (Suzuki) team didn’t have ’05 bikes to work with at Daytona. So I guess they’re in somewhat short supply. “Obviously, the manufacturer has the capacity to manufacture whatever frame they want and stamp whatever number they want on it. Just the fact that these didn’t have a number on them doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything unusual one way or the other. And the same can be said for a frame that does have a number on it. That doesn’t mean it’s standard. The process is the same whether they have a VIN number or not. We occasionally have to look at them and measure them and make sure they’re playing by the rules in that regard.” Barrick said that all of the motorcycle manufacturers have supplied sample 2005-model bikes and parts to AMA Pro Racing for comparisons during technical inspections.
