Forgive my stupidity. I expect I have the wrong end of the stick. My bike, L reg, I bought new in the summer of 73. Surely M reg is 74. How on earth did you get an M reg H1B in 1973??????
PS, I get easily confused at my age.

Took me a lot of years to own a H2, after seeing one in the window of the local kawasaki dealers in the late 70.s. early 80,s. Many yamaha,s passed thru my hands in those years, but i could never afford a H2.

So in 2006 i heard of an old boy in Nottingham who sometimes has some H2,s for sale, i scrimped and saved and went to nottingham, it did not take long for him to empty my wallet,

and i came home with this
