Enter the VIN of a Cagiva motorcycle to read what the number says.
This free decoder reads the 17-character VIN of a Cagiva motorcycle and tells you the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our Cagiva data covers 97 models from 1979 to 2012, from the Mito 125 and Raptor 650 to the Canyon 500, Navigator 1000 and Gran Canyon 900ie. Engine sizes in that data run from 49 to 996 cc.
The VIN itself holds no accident record, mileage, theft entry or owner list. That information comes from a vehicle history report, which you can order once you have checked the VIN with the decoder.

A modern VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are not used. The first three identify the manufacturer and the country, and characters 4 to 8 describe the machine in a code each maker sets for itself. Character 9 is a check digit, required in North America. The 10th character is the model year, the 11th the assembly plant, and the last six are the serial number. This is how the decoder arrives at the maker, year and country for a Cagiva.
The 17-character format applies to vehicles built since 1981, so a Cagiva from 1979 or 1980 may carry a shorter frame number that a VIN decoder cannot read. Later machines, such as a Mito 125 Evoluziono, a Raptor 1000 or a Canyon 600, should have a full VIN. On a motorcycle it is usually stamped into the frame, often near the steering head, and repeated on a plate or sticker. You will also find it in the registration papers.
The decoder reads the number. A history report looks for the records tied to it.

The first three characters identify the manufacturer and the country where it was built. The decoder translates them for you, so you do not need to look up the code yourself.
The 10th character of the VIN encodes the model year, and the decoder shows it as a year. Our Cagiva data runs from 1979 to 2012, but machines built before 1981 may have a shorter frame number that cannot be decoded.
It reads only the VIN, so it gives the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. Accidents, mileage, theft entries and previous owners are not stored in the VIN.
Compare the VIN on the frame, on the plate and in the registration papers, and make sure they match and look untouched. Then run the VIN through the decoder to confirm that the year and country fit what the seller tells you.
