Motor year number
« on: February 02, 2009, 04:15:31 PM »
Hi all, I'm looking to buy a motor for my 750 and ran across this one. It is CB 750E 22151417. Can anyone tell me the year? Thanks

Prolly in the '72 to '74 K4 range (assuming frame and engine numbers are reasonably close)?

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Thanks, I was told they thought it was a 73 so it must be. Tattoo

73 from id book
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

If it starts with 22***** it is a 73, but it does appear to have one number too many?
