You should be able to identify the year of the bike by the frame number

Just a quick note when using the frame number. It may start with '04' or '05' or what ever!!

This is not the year of manufacture.

Best to get the frame number and give Sandyfords a call, believe me I know!! been through this myself??

ok thanks for your replys

Looking (maybe) to buy one these 315R's, so 10th number in the VIN denotes the model year, which is very useful....but try as I might, and I have Googling for about an hour now, I can not find anything to tell me what changes from year to year...apart from red and white rear mudguards and the graphics!
