Help Identifiying bike (model) from VIN

Hi Guys,

I am new to the forum and looking for help identifying my Z440 (model and year). It's a 1980 I believe and was recently imported into the UK from the US (not registered yet). I have included the VIN below and any help would be massively appreciated!

KZ440B - 004597

Many thanks,

It looks like the K440-B1 was a 1980 model. In 1981, there would have been a KZ440-B2. Is the white vin sticker missing from the headstock?
For a full listing, see the back cover of the factory service manual. There may be one to download from the Articles section of KZR.
