how to identify year and model
« on: December 08, 2018, 02:47:44 PM »
hello friends, help please. I recently bought a CB 750 four but one doubt is the frame number that starts with "CB 750 210" x motor "CB 750 E273". Is that engine already on another motorcycle? Thanks for any clarification. Thank you

Welcome from NE MN,

FYI Honda frames and engine serial numbers very very seldom match.

Greetings & Merry Christmas Everyone,
Newbie here, tried to do as moderator SteveD CB500F instructed, but nothing works.
My question also is in regards to s/n's of frame/engine.
My '72' titled 750 that frame tag shows built 06/71. Frame s/n is CB750-11004xx and engine is CB750E-11007xx. I presume this means even though titled 72, mine is a K1, correct?

Greetings from Texas. 

FYI -  in '70s America, the titles were issued when the bike was sold, regardless of what model year it happened to be.
