This might sound

but my bikes a Qplate....the log book says 1993
To the best of my ability i have used google to figure out the year from my VINnumber and engine number. Both of which are telling me its a 2001
The reason i wanted to double check the year is because my bike has 'aisan' carbs fitted to it...... They are like twin dual port carburrators. I though it would of had 4single carbs???
Can anybody shed some light on this for me? Thanks

Thats what i was worried about

Qplates!! haha
from what i have seen these carbs are the norm on an 87?? im not 100%
but they wouldn't fit on any other engine.. ie a newer one, would they?
could any body double check my vin an engine numbers or guide me to the correct formula for figuring them out properly

Stick up a pic and I'm sure we can easily tell you what model it is. Sounds like a GK71 with those carbs which would make it pre 1988.

Yeh I think the database I had used to try and check them was for codes post 1990
I was so unsure I kind of ignored that info lol
