mike the bike:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it's free road tax for anything over 40 years, currently pre 1975.  (Roll on August 28th)

Johnwebley:
Mike,it has never been a roll over date,when it was first brought in,it was a fixed date,and stayed  static,this is the
first alteration I know of,

James,were is the VIN plate on a CB500-4 ?
Bryan tell me its a 73-K1,based on frame and engine numbers.

but how do I prove it to the happiness of the DVLA ?

lol59:
the free tax scheme for vehicles over 35 years (original scheme) was brought in by the last consevative govt intending it to roll over every year, that lasted 1 year before labour came in and cancelled the roll over bit so it stayed at vehicles registered before Jan 1st 1973 until the conservatives came back in and started it rolling again, it's currently pre Jan 1st 1974 and come April 1st 2015 it will be vehicles manufactured before Jan 1st 1975.
its up to you to notify and prove to the DVLA that your vehicle was manufacfured before the 1st of Jan 1975 from April 1st 2015. the 1st of January is the date that the govt use as their datum.

The DVLA are grey faced automatons with no emotions at all, they remind me of the Borg.  Even their headquarters by J46 of the M4 is cube shaped

On my US bikes it's riveted on the RHS of the headstock (as your sitting on the bike). VIN number should be stamped on the LHS of the headstock.

I've also got a 500/4 K1 - if you want to PM me your vin I can cross check with mine and send you a photo of the VIN on my K1...
