Hi guys, is there any way to tell what version one has? While cleaning I noticed the tyre and chain guide on the left of the swingarm had recommended "tire sizes" also on one of the rear wheel spoke it says "tire". Now do I have a non-Euro 2007 Blade? read between the lines.. is there a power difference thx
I believe you can tell a couple of ways. If the frame number starts JH2SC57A then it is UK / Europe. Another worry, is if the frame number starts JH2SC57C then it is French, and may well be restricted to 100bhp. See here for a list of frame numbers and their regions: Original Honda Motorcycle Parts from Lings - Model Selection Also, I understand that the identification stamp on the back of the headlamps might help... i.e. mine are marked "E", which from the above link, tells me it is a UK bike (or the headlamps are UK at least). Further, there are separate specs for California vs rest of US...... There are often smart-arse websites that can decode your VIN e.g. Honda Motorcycle VIN Decoder @ Motoverse.com I dont have my V5 on me, so am unable to see if it works... try it.
