Is this the very first ZX bike to be built?

What do you guys make of this?

I don’t know what this sticker is for or if it’s dangerous to post my bikes VIN here but, could it mean that this is the very first ZX600D to be made? If that’s the case (I don’t know, you tell me) and there was no “ZX” in the Ninja series before 1990, could this be the very first ZX bike to be produced?

Although the sticker is incomplete, I don’t think there was anything in that missing corner other than the letters “ZX” to complete ZX600D. And on the lower corner after the number one there’s more damage due to rubbing from the seat but as you can judge from the photos probably there was nothing there. Just in case the sticker is important I protected it from further damage. Could I be that lucky?
That might explain why it was in such a good condition when I found the bike.
'89 ZX-6 ????

What say you?

Check the VIN plate on the headstock. There is some sort of reference for each maker's VINs that decodes what the # designates as far as model, date of manufacture etc. My old H1 had a serial number of 00034 which made it the 34th one built.
