What year is my bike???

Post by wellsbeardog » Tue Apr 17, 2007 12:10 pm

hey everyone,

i'm new here and i just got a hold of a cb77E, but i have no idea what year it is, it has the first generation speedo and the serial number is 313395. Does anyone have some literature on years of these bikes? if so what year is my bike? any help would be useful.

thanks.

Wells, Welcome to the 305 forum. By the serial number it sounds like an older one. If you look thru the threads on the board you should find many with the same question. The answer your looking for is here somewhere. Or, look at the VJMC site and find the "Carbon dating" subject there. Good Luck with your search ! and send us a picture ! Kustommusic

No.
The numbers change as the years the bikes were issued and yours is a 63. ................lm
