What does the model numbers mean?

Postby danielthomas » Sat Apr 12, 2014 6:03 am

Hi!

Can someone explain what the RC03, RC05 and RC08 numbers mean?

I have a 1980 CB650 Z model, European version. From what I have found, my model seems to be a RC03.

What are the differences between the different model numbers?

Nice bike! I can't answer your question, but I'll be standing by for some smart person to come along who knows the answer.
