Engine Number

Hi everyone, ive been trying to find info on UK engine numbers for the F2 but to no avail.  Im pretty sure my bike may have an earlier engine in but cant find any info to prove or disprove it.

What is the first set of digits after CB750E ***

[diesel2000]

My engine number is B750GE-1000864

That is indeed a 750F2 engine number, does it have carbs with enclosed tops?

[diesel2000]

Yes, im wondering if its the original engine but theres been a mistake on the V5 in the past.  Ive had that happen with an old VW in the past.

The bike is a 77 F2 and the engine looks right.

Is that the number from the V5 or the number on the actual engine? The standard engine should be black, as should the lower fork sliders, black paint was very much in vogue for the F2 production run!

The number I have given is from the engine itself.  The engine is 100% an F2 engine with the black paint.  The bike is a F2 with black sliders and cornstar wheels.

Yes then, all is as it should be.

Engine number is wrong on V5, ill sort it with DVLA.

Cheers!
