It should have a sticker on the headstock with model year on it

ive just worked out apparently the 10th digit on frame tells the year found its a 2011 perfect  8-) its bloody fast would be nice to know whats been upgraded

Find the 10th character, which designates the model year. Use the following list to decode the character:

A=1980 B=1981 C=1982 D=1983 E=1984 F=1985 G=1986 H=1987 J=1988
K=1989 L=1990 M=1991 N=1992 P=1993 R=1994 S=1995 T=1996
V=1997 W=1998 X=1999 Y=2000 1=2001 2=2002 3=2003 4=2004
5=2005 6=2006 7=2007 8=2008 9=2009

2010 models are designated with an "A" again, 2011 models are designated with a "B," and so on.
