Does anyone know what the letter B denotes at the beginning of the engine serial
number..?

If you mean the 11th digit of the VIN (just before the 6-digit serial number), then for the UK it denotes the model year. B = 2011.

Thanks for the reply but it’s the engine serial number i’m Referring to rather than the VIN

My Tiger is French, and the engine number also starts with B.

so it appears they all start with the letter B, just wondered what if anything it stood for...!

Just a wild guess, as it was a developement from the engine from the original 675 Street Triple, could that be A and first Tigers's B.

Sounds plausible...
