Very clean. It's rare to find an original model in such good condition. In case you aren't aware, the original CX500 didn't have a designation letter, while the updates had an A, B or C added, so they get called the "Z" nowadays. I have a Z and a B with an A engine in it. I also have a CX650C and GL650D2E (Silverwing Interstate).

Mine says CX500e-2003516 - was a US import.. not sure wht that means?
I have a letter from Honda stating that it's a 1970 bike but we know that can't be right!
Any ideas?

Hi. The CX500E bit on your engine always confuses people. It doesn't refer to the model. Yours is a CX500Z. Because it's from the first model, which didn't have any designation letter, it's been given the Z to distinguish it from the A, B and C. The CX500 Customs, Eurosports and GL500's have different serial numbers. There are a lot of resources in English at CX-GL MCC UK. I've just got back from their National Rally in UK. It costs £10 a year and you get all the help and info you'll ever need. You won't find your engine serial number there (I've checked) as it's a USA one and we don't have that info.
There's a copper called Owen Morris now working in Jersey. He used to live in Weymouth and was also a member of the UK club. He's rebuilt a couple of them, so could help you out. He's a nice lad.
Hello,
In the type of the motorcycle have you 2 letters (PC) followed by 2 numbers ( 06 or 01, 02 )?
It is, at our country, what determines the type exact of your motorcycle ?
Although it is, whether it is 01, 02, 05, 06, I always drive of the good side.
Cordially
