V on your VIN = 1997 first year of production on early models till 2001 when later model with subtle changes was introduced - last one out of Hamamatsu, Japan was 2005.

Love to see you transform the VTR into something like this Suzuki TL1000R V-twin

[motojohn]

i can see what you are saying but the bike was registered 1996 so how can that be

[Wicky]

Where does it say it was registered in 96?

If so maybe a preproduction show bike that got out early for journo road testing??
