I think AUZ and NZ the same there is a manufacture date tag on cars and bikes so the customer can see, even in Third world Thailand all cars have a Manufacture date.
Just checked my 2011 UK registered xt660z seems the bike was manufactured 2008 this has really Fked me off this morning as i thought i had bought a 2010/2011 bike with all the mods not some old shagger!! especially when i am riding to Thailand this summer, certainly dont want any rectifier problems or air box problems.
I thought [wrong] that this was the idea of the 17 digit vin number where the 10th digit was the year of manufacture??? obviously a load of ****e.
I feel the need to head to Pattaya for some R and R very soon
