The Cyclepedia VIN Decoder Motorcycle Tool offers a comprehensive, free solution for motorcyclists, buyers, mechanics, and restorers to instantly decode 17-character VINs to reveal vehicle information. Whether you're researching a restoration project, verifying compatibility, or simply curious about a bike’s history, our VIN Decoder Motorcycle Tool is the fastest way to uncover make, model, year, and manufacturing specifics.
Our VIN decoder leverages ISO 3779 standards, dissecting each segment to accurately reveal the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI), Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS), and Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS). Users can easily paste a VIN without needing registration or fees. In just seconds, you'll receive vital information like year of manufacture, assembly plant, model details, and production sequence. You can easily provide feedback on decoded VINs and interact with others users and our staff to assist with accurate model decoding.
We rely on user feedback, such as "Yes/No" button clicks, to validate successful decodes and identify errors to improve database accuracy. Negative feedback allows developers to investigate anomalies, adjust decoding rules, and expand the database to handle new or unusual VIN patterns, which helps prioritize improvements based on user input volume.
The tool supports all major motorcycle brands — Honda, Yamaha, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati, KTM, and more — making it an invaluable resource for both vintage restorers and everyday riders.
Please see our VIN Location Guide, for help identifying the VIN location on different vehicles.
