GSF400 DoP help

[danieltm]

Hello and good day!

I am the proud owner of this fine specimen of a GSF400 GK75A.

I want to import it to Slovenia, but silly new law limitation require it to be an Old-timer.
The Hungarian Reg state it to be YoP 31.12.1994 for a vin number GK75A124149, which according to other exampkes i know makes no sense,,
1. Can anybody be so kind as to check the actual manufacturing date?
2. Is there a possibility to produce an official document that state the date to prove that?

Many many thanks in advance, guys!

Best wishes and fun motoring.
Cheers.

Welcome :)

A little google and I see this > https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/ ... del%20year.

I think the relevant part is the GK75 A < A is 1989 These are that kind of age, right?

Nope - this is the one

GK75A

G multi cylinder sport street

VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section)

In countries that haven't adopted the use of VIN codes (most of the European countries) the VDS code that also can be found in the VIN code tells you the type (model code) of the bike. Suzuki uses a five digit (letters and numbers) that have the following meaning:

Vehicle category
Piston displacement
Engine type
Design sequence
Model variation

G - Multiple cylinder sport street
K - 250—399cc
7 - 4-stroke, four
5 - This digit tells the model version. The first version uses 1, the second 2 and so on.
A - is the year - 1989

That was quite an interesting read!
