Dead wrong on the first year, 1984 was the very first 500cc motor honda ever made

I was pointing out that the PE020 segment of the vin is the code for all CR500 type bikes from 1981-1987. This includes the 1981 450 and the '82 and '83 480's. I left those details out to be succinct in my video. True enthusiasts already know this. Maybe a better way to put it is the PE020 code is for all the big bore CR's from 1981-1987.
