Looks a lot like my 07, don’t think it can be newer than 09. Handlebars got me stumped though.
Yes. I think I agree. After searching for images of R1200RTs, it looks like the 2010 spark plug wires run differently (camhead?).

That is a "Hexhead" (2005-2009) not a Camhead" (2010-2013). There some differences between the two generations but they are all solid bikes. 2005-2006 had "servo brakes" that could cause some complications (emphasize "could") so I would recommend any one that is 2007-2013. That one picture that says 2009-2013 is incorrect. Though they were available to purchase in late 2009 I don't think 2009 is a Camhead model year. That one is a 2010-2013 model year. Finally, the last picture should read 2014-2018. There were no external changes that I'm aware of (there were some minor internal changes in MY 2017-2018).
Sorry, can't get the VIN. This is not a potential sale bike. Mike, you got it down to 2005-2009 -- that's good enough for me. Thanks.
Thanks for the additional info.
Thanks.
