I am curious what the number means on the H series. I always see H1, H4, H7 etc... what do the numbers mean?

1995 - 2006 KDX200 is the H series.1995 is H1, 1996 is H2, on up to numbering change in 2006.

The KDX220R was released in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) in 1994. 1994 - 2005 was the "A" series for KDX220R. 1997 was the first year in the USA, so t is KDX220-A4 and so on.

Copy and paste from my site:

Thanks for the info. I find it strange so many people use the number/letter code instead of just saying the year.
