What year is my bike??

[Coyote]

I think my CBR is a '93 model that was first registered at the end of 1992, so it is classed as a '92 model

[Wonko]

It should be the year of manufacture but normal practice seems to be the year of first registration. Hence my NZ new bike say's it's a '86 but is an '85. Lot's of fun if some of the bike bit's change between the years and your tring to find them before you know the year.

A vehicle brought into NZ has to comply to the relavent regualtions in this country at the date of compliance for this country - that's why we had to have those stick on high stop lamps on cars - it was required after 1990 in NZ,if the build date was earlier it still had to have the 1990 lighting regulations applied.There are exemtions and blah,blah,blah...but your 1992 bike first reg in 2002 was complied as a 2002.
