Probably! Not sure re Suzuki serial numbers.

If you have the original brake lines on it there will be a date on them - however this will be the line date so not necessarily when the bike was put together.

I had the local shop look at the numbers under the pillion seat, consult a book then tell me what month of what year the bike was manufactured
