YEAR OF MANUFACTURE

US site is not always correct as Honda were VERY sneeky and all at the same time were building

CB500 K2 for the USA

CB500 K1 for the UK/Europe (smaller clocks, indicators,rear light ETC) Some frame numbers begin 20*****

CB550 K0 for the next model year in US

This makes it incredibly difficult to guesstimate the build year of a 73 ish UK bike and the only way to be 100% certain is pay the money to Honda UK for a dating letter

matthewmosse:
Hmm, this is interesting, I've 2 project 500/4s and one is a k plate (I think) so I'm pretty sure when it gets a log book will be exempt. Woul;d be good to get taxed for free ;D
