Not a full vin, not enough to work with. A vin is 17 digits.
Your bike's year of production is 1996.
1998
The tenth digit in the vin identifies the year. The "t" in your vin identifies your bike as a 1996.
2001
With the vin number on the steering head tube,

Unfortunately, the serial number for your Suzuki DR 250 does not provide information about the year the bike was manufactured. However, you can use the following tips to help you determine the year of your bike:Look for the year printed on the manufacturer's sticker on the frame.Check the registration papers for the year the bike was first registered.Check the vehicle identification number (VIN) for the year of the bike.You may also be able to find out the year of your Suzuki DR 250 by locating the 10th digit of the VIN. The 10th digit of the VIN can provide information about the year, but this is not always the case. For example, if the 10th digit of the VIN is a J, then the bike was made in 1992. However, if the 10th digit of the VIN is a K, then the bike was made in 1993. In this case, the 10th digit of the VIN is not a J or a K, so the year of your Suzuki DR 250 cannot be determined from the VIN.
