Cb 500 k1 with a k2 engine?
deltarider:
The European K2 is from: enginenumber 2166156 on, framenumber is from 2080001 on, so yours is a K1. That 'PG' on the license plate, is that Perugia?
K2-K6:
"Plus the current owner got the bike in 2004, never done any maintenance"
"He says he never has done any maintenance, only oil change every year. "
It looks like it's been kept inside, with oil change each year. This is a very good starting point as many of then don't have this. For more detailed inspection, that's only possible once you get it and ride it, but for the money it seems quite an original bike and worthwhile to buy.
Bryanj:
Not even the factory have recoeds of what emgine went in which frame, only records of what frame mumbers eft the line on what day so nobody can tell you exactly what it should be only if it is in the "range' of correct numbers, which it is plus in 75 Honda were building 500K1 for UK and some or europe, 500K2for USA and other countries plus 550K0 for USA so it was a reall nightmare
Trigger:
CB500 Four: UK and European (some parts)
1971 VIN 10**** Engine 10****
1972 VIN 20**** Engine 20****
1973 VIN 20**** Engine 20**** to 21****
1974 VIN 20**** Engine 21****
1975 VIN 20**** Engine 21**** And i have seen a 22****
It is not a K2 engine it is just a K2 number in the USA plus some other countries, because the UK and most of europe did not have a K2 then, it is a CB500 K1 number ;)

Engine 22***** was on the rare CB500K3 which had framenumbers from... 1000001 on. ;D ;D ;D As said: a nightmare.
BTW, well done!
