Hello ! I bought a k6-7 gsx r 600 last year and as the title of this post says, on it's documents says manufacturing date 2005. Every single part on it is from a k6-7, i've looked up the engine number, it's from the k6-7, when i try to check the VIN number, it says manufacturing 2005. I've also removed the fairings and found a "table" with one vertical column with years i think, from 05 and on, and a horizontal one with months numbers (that's what i suppose) from 1-12 and dots marked in the table(see the picture attached). I've looked up on the internet and i can't find something that says some k6 were manufactured in 05, or late 05. Does anyone here has any idea ? I can attach the vin number if needed.

Probably late in 05. Do you think they wait until Jan 1st to start production?

Not at all, i just never saw anybody with the same "problem" as mine.

Because it's not a problem.

No problem. The VIN gives you the model date for spare parts.
Suzuki manufacture products in, eg. 2005 and that product is displayed at motor shows and then on the showroom floor in August / September 2005. It is the 2006 model.
More recently as sales numbers dictate new products. Suzuki has been rereleasing the same bike over and over.
