There were somewhat less than 2000 made if you read the 1937 Introductory Literature. 1000 or 1001 would have been the first number so I would call yours a mid production bike.

Numbering started at 1000. So yours is the 800th numbered engine. The best production figure we have is from the Presidents report to the share holders. That is "slightly less than 2000 were sold". The first 350 or so had many differences in cast parts. Most all the running changes were done before number 2000 rolled out.Last edited by Chris Haynes; 10-04-2015, 10:29 PM.Be sure to visit;

We know the figures in The Legend are flawed. Numbers higher than 1704 have been seen.Originally posted by Steve Slocombe View PostBe sure to visit;

Dear Chris, I'm sure engine numbers higher than 2704 have been seen. Maybe there were a few gaps?Comment
