I'm sorry, but your vin # confuses me.
Using deductive logic. . . since the tenth digit is a K, and in 2002 the tenth digit was a C, that would seem to denote your bike is a 2010 model. The tenth digit denoting the year model started with the 2002 year model. (However, I'm not an expert concerning the models later than 2006; and I am not knowledgeable on the models that didn't get imported to the US. I could be completely wrong in my logic.
)
Normally, I would read your VIN # as a 2010 125cc Pampera. I read it like this :
"VT" is how all the GasGas VIN numbers that I'm familiar with start.
"PA" (It could stand for Pampera. Sounds good to me. I'll check out 2002 Pampera 280 and see what it's vin is. My EC (Enduro Cross) bikes had vin numbers that started with VTREC. Some of the other early 2000s years models imported to the US had similar but different 4th and 5th letter designations, such as VTRXC or VTRUS. I figured that the "R" used in the third place on these VINs represented "Racing".)
"12" would be interpreted as the bike being a 125cc (the 125cc specific engine parts have numbers that start with "ME120".)
"00" would normally be saying that it was produced in a year ending in 0, such as 2010.
I'll report back after checking my Pampera's VIN.
