The serial number you have listed might be missing one digit.  5?510 870030.  The 510 means that it was made in the 10th month of 1975.  The digit that I think is missing would indicate the size of the bike. If the digit is a 4 it would be a 250, example, 54 510 870030.  Hope this helps and doesn't confuse you too much.  Since it was made in October of 75, it would be a 1976 bike.

What do you want to bet it's a 51510? What model would that be? (probably typed the ` character instead of hitting the 1 key right next to it)
