this might be a stupid question but what model number is my 2016 blade if there is such a thing. I see people putting 1000rr8 or 1000rr6 is there model numbers or just years thanks
My old 2012 was an RRC, and I thought my old 2014 was an RRE so assumed 2016 was RRG. Am I wrong lozzy?
Yeah I agree it doesn't make sense as I think my 2011 was B, so yes you'd think 2016 was G but I'd seen it mentioned as F in other threads etc and the log book seems to confirm it...so don't really know why that is..
Just done a bit of Googling and there are 2016 RRG's mentioned but they appear to be USA models. The UK log books for 2016 blades definitely show them as RRF over here
Lings part fiche seem to show 2016 as RRG so the plot thickens. The model year relates to the year of production so you could have an RRC that was registered in 12 as most are, but also 13, 14 and so on. Are you sure yours isn’t a 15 registered in 2016 Lozzy? https://www.lingshondaparts.com/hon...551.png&block_03=985&block_04=lp&block_05=hmc
Well I wondered that.... but it's one of those special Black Editions and they were introduced as a model in 2016?!? Unless it was a way of getting rid of standing 2015 black bike stock Has anyone on here got a 2016 UK model with the log book showing RRG?
I think so, unless it's like @1000rr73 has suggested a 15 but registered in 16! What do your reg docs say it is?
Done some digging and been told if you check your vehicle on gov vehicle tax site it shows year of manufacture. So mine shows it as 2016 not 2015! Yet my log book shows it as a RRF. You're not really our Nige are you @bazzashadow .....come to play with our minds
Just looked, it is a G! Produced late in '16. My bike was also the Honda display bike for the NY Motorcycle Show. I have met someone who had a picture of my bike on their phone that clearly showed the VIN plate from the NY show.
funny this my little green slip says "F" my warranty book says "G" and my paperwork when I picked it up say "F" and under the seat by the colour code says "G" scratching my head " what have I got"
only just read the last bit lozzy and just checked mine and it is first reg 2016, manufacture 2016 but and this is a big but is it a black edition or has someone changed it and the dvla have robbed me a year when I come to sell it because it should be a "G"
I've checked the 10th letter in the chassis number on mine now and it's G!! It's doing my feckin head in now I'm gonna ride down to my local Honda and bug them with it tomorrow......
Just to add to the head scratching my 66 black was first registered 15 October 2016. Colour code sticker under the rear cowl says CBR1000RRG, the 10th digit of the chassis number is also a G and inside my warranty book it says G, but the model on the V5 says F?
