CB750K6 exact year of manufacture

(1/3) > >>

lol59:
hi, i have a Honda CB750K6 frame number: CB7502576566  its a 1976 model year that was first registered in the UK in July 1977. According to data on this site the K6 model was manufactured from Dec 1974 to June 1976.
i am trying to determine when it was actually manufactured as it may now qualify for tax exempt status due to changes announced in the 2015 budget.
i've tried all the usual vin number search sites but they dont apply to pre 1980 bikes and the rest of the information i can find is vague on the subject, anyone know how to find out when this frame number was actually manufactured between Dec 1974 to June 1976 ?
thanks
Laurence

Dont believe the figures quoted on the US site. Bryan may have the right information from a Honda parts book. Don't think you will be able to get a tax exempt for a few years yet, the DVLA run it on the registration date as far as i know. Another member may have a different view on this.

 the DVLA do run it on the registration date unless you can provide evidence of the actual date of manufacture, the tax free staus applies to the manufacture date not the registration date. assuming honda would have sold the 1976 models from august 1975 in the UK they would have had to start manufacture sometime in 1975, i think your right about the US data though, does sound a bit odd making '76 models as far back as Dec '74.

Woodside:
While we're on the subject does anyone know if the bikes qualify automatically or do you have to  notify dvla and let them know when your particular bike is of age?
Thanks in advance   I have 3 75 bikes so the hobby is getting cheaper?....ish
