How may I identify a Seeley HONDA750frame, does the VIN start with "SH7......." ?

Depends which Seeley Honda your talking about? Is it the bespoke nickle plated framed kit version, or the version built out of a standard 750F2? If its genuine Seeley 750 it should start SH7, the other is the standard F2 VIN that will be random same as the PRR. The F2 Seeley and PRR versions were built from bikes gathered up from remaining stocks around the country at the end of the CB750 sohc life to help sell up remaining stocks that were stuck at dealers following the release of the dohc version.

Thanks!!

The bike IĀ“ver been offered has VIN "SH7GER...." and actually has a black frame (may be nickle underneath anyway)
I assume GER stands for Germany?

The answer to that I think is no. The only other I do know about is AUS for Australia, didnt even know about the GER until this post. Pretty sure that no UK ordered bikes were stamped SH7UK though.

Yes, that helps! Mostly all bikes sold to Germany have GER. The bike i am looking at is even registerred here.

Thanks!
