With only two posts, you need to expend a bit more effort. The info you seek is here, just get off your ass and look for it.

Welcome to the forum. You can also take a look at the sticker on the steering head. It should have your frame number stamped in and you will also see a month/year in the corner. That will tell you the month and year it was made. Keep in mind the bike could be a 1971 and titled as a 1972. Once you get up to speed how about a few pics.
