Not every manufacturer uses the same codes. Characters 4 through 8 provide information about the model, engine size and body style options. These characters are known as the Vehicle Descriptor Section. It could be a motorcycle, ATV or scooter. The third character is used by powersports manfacturers to identify the vehicle type. It’s not uncommon to find a BMW motorcycle made in Mexico or a Japanese ATV made in Canada. The second character, when combined with the first character denotes which country the motorcycle was manufactured in. For example a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 indicates your motorcycle was made in North America while J, K, L, M, N, P, or R means it was made in Asia. The first character of the VIN tells us which region the motorcycle was manufactured in. Let’s break each character down so you can better understand what each stands for. These 17 characters are divided up into three groups: World Manufacturer Identifier, Vehicle Descriptor Section, and Vehicle Identifier Section. The letters I, i, O, o, Q, and q are never to be used so as to avoid confusion with numerals 1 and 0. Note: In 1981, the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) initiated a standardized 17-character VIN.
