How can I tell what year my FZ1 was made??

[Fazerjon]

I recently bought a FZ1-N on a 2012 plate, but the dealer said its a 2011 model. How can I tell for sure what year it was made? Someone mentioned its the 10th digit on the V.I.N number with 'A' being 2011, but the 10th digit on my V.I.N number is number '0'  :rolleyes
