1. Look for a 17-character VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). It should be stamped on a metal plate on the frame near the steering stem.
2. Decode the VIN using the following format:
* 1st character: Country of Manufacture (1=USA, 2=Canada, 3=Mexico)
* 2nd character: Manufacturer (H=Honda)
* 3rd character: Vehicle type (X=ATV)
* 4th character: Model (R=TRX200)
* 5th character: Engine type (E=2-stroke)
* 6th-12th characters: Serial Number
* 13th character: Model year (letter code, see table below)
* 14th character: Assembly plant (E=East Troy, WI, U=Ontario, CA)
* 15th-17th characters: Sequential production number
