1) 275 is the model code for the JDM RT1 for 1970.
2) JDM bikes had no individual engine numbers, just like yours.
If the headlight bucket is present, does it have a large red lens behind the high beam warning lens and/or a weird fuse/resistor type thing in the bucket (these are all in relation to a warning light that comes on if speed exceeds a certain level)?
Photo upload is not working at the moment.

As for the questions Ht1Kid, I was looking at the stamped numbers below the top triple clamp on the frame.
RT325, It is not a reed valve engine so I know the engine is at least from an RT1.
Gr8uncleal, I was wondering if the bike was JDM or not, due to the VIN not matching anything. As for the headlight bucket that is missing from the bike, it has seen better days and missing a couple things but it does run! I wish there was a way I could track down the other previous owners to ask questions, but I didn't receive any documentation with the bike.
However I do have what the seller called an "Aftermarket tank" that came with the bike, but it is actually a CZ plastic tank (that doesn't even fit an RT1!)
