RE:1974 or 1975

Welcome aboard, Willix. I saw that ad on craigslist, too. I live in NE Orlando, over near Oviedo.
I had a 1975 XL100 in about 1985, and it had that exact color scheme. Burgundy metallic tank with two black stripes down the center of the tank. I would've bet money that it was a '75.
Plus, there IS a website that lists engine serial numbers and what numbers came in what year. I'll hunt it out and post it.
Here it is: www.motorera.com/honda/index.htm
*edit* yep, in looking at the photos on the above site, yours is a 75. The 75 had those 'scooped' fenders, particularly the front. The 74 had more 'flat' fenders, similar to the previous SL100 model.
But, as Woosh asks: what about a VIN tag on the neck? doesn't it give a manufacture date?
