Numbers suggest a 64. Does it have the speedo ring cast into the upper triple clamp? Breather tower on upper rear of crankcase? Pics are helpful.

but the other 64s usually have 7 digits not six

usually i see 7 not six digits in the 64-65 vins, so i thought this may be older.

I don't see the breather tower. 6 digits through 64. 61s start with 11, not 10.

Looks like '64 to me too. These number may help. Apologies for quality....
