I had a few questions about this bike.

When were they made?

Is this a rare bike?

Is there a way to date it by its serial number tag?

 

[cheezy1]

Not rare....you can date it by the engine numbers. Looks to be around a 1970-71

I'd say late 60s early 70s not a rare bike but if u like it thats all that matters not sure how to date down to the year

I understand that. I got the nick name Mopedman, because when I was 16 I had 27 mopeds and parts for all makes on models. My wife already told me she can see that this is going to grow into a big hobby for me. She said she can see how excited I am to go out in the garage and work on these bikes.
