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!!

No idea either but if it is the date of manufacture, it actually says 'date of manufacture' or similar and would be something like 10/77 being Oct 77 for example.
Like so, as an example, USA VIN plate

I would have thought it was one of the last actually built sometime 78 a F3 a term not often used as they were always just referred to as F2. Cb750g numbers were used on non USA frames. No doubt sold cheap in the day to clear as the dohc was also out at that time.
To the best of my belief. I could well be wrong.

Well, I wonder what PVA is 🤔🤔🤔I have just looked at one of my bikes, the 400/4 and that has a PVA No. on the VIN tag of 65.228 That rules out it being anything to do with date of manufacture as mine was one of the last ever manufactured and is a 1977. I wonder if it is some reference to type approval or homologation compliance for the UK market?
