Honda Engine Serial number

[GrumpyGuts]

I've just bought two Honda motorcycle engines at an auction...because I wanted to.

One engine is from a Pan European, the other, well I dunno. I've managed to locate the engine serial number from the second engine (can't be bothered with the Pan engine tonight as I can't find it) however I don't know what bike it is supposed to go into or the year.

Can anybody decode engine numbers? The smallest engine is a 400cc twin (well, the auction house says so) and the number is:

CB250TE-2011109

How do I decode this?

Help is appreciated

Nice one, I did determine that it's a CB250T, however that website lists that it is a 1978, did you find the year from the serial number?
