If its a USA import it will have the date on the VIN plate. If its a 1st registered UK bike... it won't have the date on the VIN plate. Not sure but I don't think any European models have date on VIN plate.

Not sure but I don't think any European models have date on VIN plate.I was looking at the 'pva' number on the label. it may be a coincidence but mine is a 77 (reg78) and the number starts 77 - not thsat I know whet the 'pva' number is supposed to denote!!

Just thing out loud... Is yours (stoutgoose) a single overhead cam or a double overhead cam?

Is yours (stoutgoose) a single overhead cam or a double overhead cam?It’s a SOHC but no frame label on the head tube, just the stamped VIN. From looking around, it seems to have a lower frame number than some bikes on ‘T’ plates.
