Has the 73M got laid forward shocks or more upright?  If they are upright then VR, otherwise probably VA. Don't know about the H6, maybe 80/81.

The 73M Cappra would be either a V75 or VA but not sure how many 73M engine numbers where assigned to engines sold to Rickman brothers for their bikes. About 2500 (2400?) VR models.

The white tank 125 would be a H7 I think and similiar to the 250 & 360 H7 models would be '82 - '84
