What date was my Bike Manufactured?
« on: April 29, 2009, 11:06:03 PM »
I have a SOHC CB750 it shows on V5 being first registered in 1974.
Is there any way to check when it was manufactured?

Frame Number: CB7502084995
Engine Number: CB750F2257749

The quote below is from the Haynes Great Bikes series Honda CB750 by Mike Duckworth
Frame: from 2000001 CB750 K2 (November 1971-September 1972)
Engine: from 2200001 CB750 K3 (September 1972-June 1973)

Marvelous, that's what I wanted to hear. Free road tax for me  ;D
I've requested a YOM from Honda for proof also to take to the DVLA.

Cheers lads.

As far as I know there's no law against metal plates - just the colour. You can only use white on black if registered before 1st Jan 1973
