    Pretty sure the 5th Gen was only manufactured until '01 maybe your bike first passed State Compliance in '02, do you have a photo of its build plate ?

    Have seen a mint 6th Gen with a Nov '01 build plate whose weathered rider had owned it from new and sweared he would be buried with it.

    Welcome aboard. Fifth gen bikes were made 1998-2001. Do you have a picture of your bike? The fith and sixth gen bikes look completely different.

    Write down the vin number, take it to a dealer and ask them to decode it for you.

    Hello. VIN tag was on the right side. And there was not the date of bike made. So I asked dealer to decode it. He said that the bike made in 2001.
    And I'm found in internet where you can to decode HONDA VIN code:
    Honda Motorcycle VIN Decoder @ Motoverse.com
    Now I have VFR to... :)

    Dainus,
    If your still looking at the blue bike, its a beautiful 5th gen. If you like it and its in good shape, buy it.
