    The XJ750R Seca (in the US) was just called an XJ750 across the pond.

    The first three letters of your shorty VIN should be as follows (according to what year it is)

    1981 - 5N1
    1982 - 11N
    1983 - 28J
    1984 - 41Y

    US Seca models: (I've included the starting VIN # for each year)
    1981 - 5G2-000101
    1982 - 5G2-100101
    1983 - 5G2-150101
    Canadian Seca models:
    1981 - 5H2-000101
    1982 - 5H2-100101
    1983 - 5H2-110101
    1984 - 44X-000101

    The E2 is probably what it is. First time I've heard of that designation.

    WELL the latest is that ebike got back to me with a useless email telling me to ad the details to my insurance online (i had been trying to get them to tell me which modle i should select)
    i dont know if the people there had been super nice or wether there was a mistake but when i filled in all my details the cost to add the bike to my insurance was....
    £0.00
    i pressed buy there and then!
    i now have a 82HP 130(ish)mph bike for £0.00 insurance :)
    pick it up on Saturday.
