Trying to date MM/YY of my K2
Bryanj:
Try asking for similar vin numbers on the us site as they all had vin plates

Different numbering system mate. All UK, K2's had VIN's that started with 20.... didn't mater if it was a 1972 or 1975. You could always ask Honda UK ;)
Bryanj:
Trig did the US&UK k2 not come off the same line but then US numbers changed when they went k2/3/4/5 whilst UK carried on.
Trigger:
The volume of the USA orders would of been on a dedicated line and other country's would of been on another due, to so many different parts being fitted to the 750. It would of got too confusing ( as the Japanese loved the word "simplicity" ) with different looms, switch's, indicators, handle bars, rear ends and so on. The 750 was first assembled at Hamamatsu and then moved to suzuka to join the CB500 four ;)
Lobo:
This site never fails to deliver; thanks Bryan / Trig.
Q. - why would the UK do away with VIN plates? My own synical guess would be the motor trade industry, not wanting Joe Soap realising that the motor he’d just bought was actually 14 months old (whatever). But yea, comments?
