If it is a SJR it will say "SE" on the vin tag. The vin will also be a JH2PC253*WM7000001~ or JH2PC254*WM7000001

I would also check the plastics- look at the back side of them (undertail or side vents are easy to see) they should be black and kind of thick- not white and thin- The racing stripe isn't OEM. . Even if it is a smokin' joes frame it isn't anything special without the OEM plastics and Wheels. IMO. If its not OEM plastics then offer them $2700-2800 out the door its still gonna ride like any other F3. =) lol

Its nice. If I could do it over again I would get a f4i. Great starter bike and its fuel injected and they are reasonably priced.

I don't know where you live but check this site out - http://racersedge411.com/ - It's a cash only place but they've got some killer deals if you keep your eyes open and are willing to drive.
