That would have been a pre-production with a sandcast engine.

The 1979 model is the only one Honda gave a definite number of units produced: 24,590. Including 1-41 prototype, pre-production and not-for-sale units.
The highest surviving VIN number at one time was recorded as a frame sold in Germany 24,200. An owner in Sweden owns 24,090
