Well julie,my bike was an aussie model imported and regd in the uk in 1987.
A friend was disputing the year of my bike because of the frame and engine numbers.
He said it was a 75 according to the numbers.it is a 77.
He thought because it originally had the passenger footpegs on the swingarm it was an early model.
And i was getting slated for cutting it up to make a cafe racer.
But it was a complete wreck and would have cost too much to restore.
I know nothing about engine/frame numbers or actually care about them to be interested.
Your replies were for his benefit not mine.

Hi Norniron... for your mate.
The fixed footrests were only applied to the European bikes ... who knows why. From Wikopedia ..
..."Up to frame number 1056883 'F' models had swing-arm mounted pillion footrests, but from then on the 'F' models had the pillion footrests moved to frame-mounted brackets; it is often assumed that this feature only started with the F2 model but this is not the case."
Refer to my previous posting & note those frame #s do not apply outside of Europe.
Like you, I've an imported F2.... an American 1977 Model. It is on its original frame and has swing-arm footrests. Just like they all did outside of Europe....
To seal the deal I checked my parts list... the frame with loops is defo (later) European spec.
