There does not appear to be a Shogun data base out there on the internet anywhere. Below are some known dates of purchase with the serial numbers. Seems the Shogun serial numbers follow the general pattern of most Asian bicycles with the second digit or number indicating the year.

Below are some known dates of purchase with the serial numbers. Seems the Shogun serial numbers follow the general pattern of most Asian bicycles with the second digit or number indicating the year. Most of the Shogun bicycles were manufactured in the late seventies up to early nineties.
The Fuji Touring Series was a fine range of loaded touring bikes in the mid '80s. Fuji fell on hard times in the early '90s. It was one of the last Japanese bike companies to shift production to Taiwan after the fall of the dollar against the Yen made Japanese bikes uncompetitive in the U.S.
Make sure to note that Fuji bikes decrease in price as model numbers increase. In other words, the Roubaix 4.0 is the lowest end Roubaix and the Crosstown 1.0 is the highest end you can find.

Most of the Shogun bicycles were manufactured in the late seventies up to early nineties. At one point manufacturing shifted from Japan to Taiwan. There have been bikes seen that appear to have been built in the sixties but that has not been verified.
