        That is specific verbiage used by the Department of Transportation. All dealer statements are indeed based on a dealers best possible knowledge on the vehicle. That is to say, when a dealer discloses that the tires hold air, have tread and are not cracked, those statements are not absolutes, but are "to the best of the dealers knowledge".

            moron, any vehicle produced after the 6th month is considered the next year model.
            7/1976=1977........moron
            geeeesh

            That's not true of Wisconsin vehicles manufactured before 1980 (when the 17 digit VIN standard was implemented), in my experience. They were titled based on first registration date. You could have purchased a 1969 CB750 from the dealer in 1972. It would have been titled as a 1972, forget the frame/engine/MCO info.

                Why would either be necessarily true?

                    They can call it 1902 for all I care, it doesn't make a '77 750 worth any more.

                      That was like 10764.... so #764 off the line....wonder what the title says?
                      As a dealer, I am obligated to advertise based on the number in the VIN field on the title, which is GS75010435 as stated.

                        Who said I was looking to get any more for this bike than any average, dual disc 1977?

                              The average '77 750 didn't have dual discs anyway.

                                I suppose it depends on ones definition of average.
