Topic: CB750E What have I got ?

[KatoNY13033]

1973 Honda CB750 .  On the steering neck I have CB750 - 2209470.  On the engine plate I have CB750E-2211058.
I am confused.

Hello, welcome.
The frame and engine numbers don't match on the CB750's if that's what's confusing you.
Based on those numbers you have what you think you have, a 1973 CB750!

Thanks Cycle Ranger appreciate your quick response.
Is there a URL site that can decode the serial number/VIN for this bike.?

CB750-2209470 is 1973 frame, CB750E-2211058 is 1973 engine, in range of this frame number.

Thanks cb69750.  Good info.
I've had this bike for years trading some work for it back in 1981 but funny thing i never rode it.  Gave it to my brother and now i've inherited it back.  Last registered in '99 yeah. 
Where did you get this info from.  I see all this info on K1 etc.   but didnt know if it pertained to this bike.

There's nothing to decode, it's just a sequential number.

   Hondachopper had a useful list at one time, I printed it and hung it In the shop. I also filled in a few Showa year numbers for dating ink stamped parts.
  Example, 1969 = Showa year 44. 1970= 45 etc,
