I've recently purchased a Kawasaki GPZ500S (AKA EX500 or Ninja 500R) circa 1998.
I can't seem to find the VIN which should be embedded into the right hand side of the steering head (it's got the frame number instead).
Is it possible that it didn't came with one?
Clarification
Said vehicle was intended for the european market, and was imported by an authorized dealer to Israel.
Addendum
First of all, both answers seem to fit the glove, so thanks.
Just one last quibble: could it be possible that certain countries don't require a VIN?
Could this possibly be the case?
