He is correct. The VIN’s went a little higher than his stated 286,200.So if I'm reading this right...
Your saying that Honda made a run of about 400 bikes, in December of 71, for Canada, that are K0s?
This is the first I've ever heard of that. Do you have any of those bikes? Pictures of vin tags?
...and
Canada didn't get ANY K1s until at least January of 1972?
He is correct. The VIN’s went a little higher than his stated 286,200.

Kirrbby, for the past 15 years +/-, I’ve recorded every VIN and info on all CT70K0’s that I’ve run across….in person and online. I have data on thousands of K0’s. I first ran across the 12/71 bikes around 8-10 years ago. Unfortunately, these are not my bikes, just ones I’ve seen online.Cool!
So it looks like they stopped making K0s for the US in 8/71. Then made a few more for Canada in 12/71.
Did you know that Mike?? Are those your bikes that you pictured? Or you just have the pictures.
Did you knowingly SEEK OUT the Canadian 12/71 bikes, or just happened to find them in your collection?

Thanks for the info. I would think the 12/71 bikes would make for a nice small niche for a collector.
BTW... I'm liking the new handle. Nice that admin let you do that too.
