The year can be determined by the 10th digit of the VIN. Here is a cross-reference of that 10th digit with its corresponding production year:
Each of the following letters, in the order specified, correspond to a year 1976 thru current year:
a b c n t x z d e f g h j k l m n p r s t v w x y 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
In other words, a=1976, b=1977, c=1978, n=1979, etc.

zx400k009583
I could be wrong, but it looks pretty much like a Kawasaki Vin number to me. Had both bikes and it compares pretty much like one i had, i just looked it up in my notes and it has the same combination of numbers and letters - set out the same way. I would guess Kawasaki!
there is no engine vin vin stands for vehicle identification number

The tenth digit in a Kawasaki's VIN represents the year it was made. "B" is listed as either a 1981 or 2011. This particular VIN is not showing any company records so a call to Kawasaki's customer service might be helpful.
To determine the year of a Kawasaki Prairie 400 using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), locate the 10th character in the VIN. This character represents the model year; for example, letters like 'A' through 'Y' correspond to years 1980 to 2000, while the numbers '1' through '9' correspond to 2001 to 2009, and 'A' again represents 2010. You can refer to a Kawasaki VIN decoding chart for specific year indicators beyond 2010.
go to motoverse.com. then type in the vin.
You either have a partial vin number (all vin numbers after 1981 are 17 digits) or a bike pre 1982. If you have an older bike, your Kawasaki dealer should be able to help you determine what year it is. In 1981, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration required that all vehicles must contain a 17 character VIN. Before that each manufacturer was basically using there own vin system.
