Hello to All
I bought a 750 Commando and have now discovered that the engine and frame numbers indicate that I have an earlier Mk.lV 745cc engine from 1972 in an 828cc Mk.l frame from 1973. This checks out with the VIN plate showing 1st. Jan 1974. So, the original engine, which would have had the same number as the frame, has been replaced at some stage. And this is according with and correct with the log book which has been updated with the replacement engine at some point. I am based in the U.K and I really like the bike and would like to keep it, but would ask if this would effect the re sell price and I paid 6k for the bike.
Thanks Jason
