My Bird is actually a 09/96 plated model, though I think it's regarded as a '97 model, as the year models usually change in September of each year, well that's how it is in Australia, (I think). Don't quote me on that.

Your plates must be different from ours. Ours shows the month and year of manufacture, and in great big type the model year.

Yes they are I wish they were the same as yours, ours just have the year of compliance effectively even though it says year of "manufacture"

Went through this recently as I was looking at buying a new car and the dealer (Toyota) said that if we were ordering a new car (ex factory) and it was going to come in late Dec we would be better of to tell them to wait till Jan to get it compliance plated as an 09

So here it isn't really date of manufacture just when it's complianced
We had a bit of a discussion on OzBB recently about this because a member sold a bike he had bought brand new in mid 07 (Busa I think) as an "07" model went to sell it and the compliance plate said 11/06 (which is apparently how the DMV's in most states licence them).

So effectively he couldn't sell it as an 07 only an 06, he was pissed off to say the least

We also have dealers selling 4-5 year old CBR250 RR's as "new" 08 models because they have stockpiles of them in Japan and it is when they are imported and complianced not manufactured
