Best shot on the vin number is a DT175A circa 74, a picture would help quite a bit. Can you read the engine number by any chance, should be on the top RHside of the engine under the carb.

June 8, 201014 yr Moderator Right a good clean std bike. Looks right but then 74-77 did look similar, the graphics though did change and with a bit of luck someone on here may be able to nail it down a little nearer i'll see what i can find. It does look to have the oversize front tyre that the A/B had for whatever reason but that isn't a definite to date the chassis from.
June 22, 201014 yr Looks identical to my 1975 DT175 ... Beyond that I'm still looking for info on mine....
June 22, 201014 yr Moderator Got it..... Its a 1974 DT175A the tank colour is yale blue and the frame numbers ran from:- 443-000101 to 443-025820, the engine number should be the same as the frame number.
