Hi there! Just curious if anyone knew about how to id an older honda. I'm trying to discover the year of a bike I just bought. I think the dude who sold it to me lied about it. The serial number isn't the typical 17 characters. It's: ME0317S01S1 I would really appreciate any feedback. thanks!

I had this trouble with my old XR75. I had to call the Honda dealer. Growing up my Dad always said it was a '75 but now that I am restoring it 28 years later I realized it didn't have 75 side panels, turns out it is a 77, lol.

Did you get the number off the steering stem or is that number from one of the engine cases?

No, it's supposedly a '95.

If it's a 95, get the VIN off the steering stem.

your local Honda dealer should be able to tell you everything you want to know about the bike.

Post a picture, a 95 era bike is pretty easy to identify.

Search google images for a 1995 honda cr125. If what comes up is not what your bike is, try other years. Below is the first image that came up when I entered in a search.
