Excellent. Good on you, Bob. That's exactly what I wanted. It tells me that Honda uses a different number/letter in the 8th position of U.K. Models to that used in the US. It tells me that, if use2b's bike was imported, it got a new VIN.

I wonder what the EX VIN identifier is in the U.K.?
Answered my own question: it's SC65C. Looks to me like the SCSC65B and SC65C designator were used Europe wide.

That's it VIN tragics. Back to sleep.

That's what I would have expected. Since EU member countries use a common standard, its no surprise that Honda would make a common model for all of them.

Thanks, Old Bob! You've made some numbers geeks very happy.
