Where is my bike from?
« on: March 02, 2012, 01:23:40 AM »
Hi Guys,

I'm new to this, and all forums in general, so forgive me if I mess up!

I have just aquired a CB550F1 or F2 with the registration number MF28HS. The speedo is in KPH so I think the bike came from Europe. I have no paperwork for the bike.

Can any body help with any suggestions as to how I can find out where the bike came from? :-\
