Enter the VIN of a CPI scooter to read what the number says.
Enter the 17-character VIN of a CPI scooter and the decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our CPI data covers 11 models from 2003 to 2014, among them the GTR 50, Oliver 50, VGO, SM 50, SX 50, Aragon, Formula, Supercross, Supermoto 50, Hussar and Popcorn. Most are scooters (7), alongside two super motard models, one enduro / offroad and one cross / motocross, with engines from 49 to 124 cc and up to 4 hp.
The decoder works only from the VIN itself, so it cannot tell you about accidents, mileage, theft entries or previous owners. That information comes from a vehicle history report, and the decoder itself stays free and needs no registration.
A VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. The first three (the WMI) identify the manufacturer and the country. Characters 4 to 8 describe the machine, and each maker codes them in its own way, so they differ between, say, a Popcorn and a Supermoto 50. Character 9 is a check digit, required in North America. Character 10 is the model year, which for CPI in our data falls between 2003 and 2014. Character 11 is the assembly plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.
On a scooter the VIN 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. Machines built since 1981 carry the 17-character format. An older frame may have a shorter number that a VIN decoder cannot read. If the number on a GTR 50, an Aragon or any other CPI does not have 17 characters, check it again before you type it in.
The decoder reads the number. A history report looks for the records tied to it.
CPI history reportLook at the frame first, often near the steering head, where the number is usually stamped into the metal. It is also printed on a plate or sticker and listed in the registration papers.
Characters 1 to 3 form the WMI, which identifies the manufacturer and the country. The decoder uses them to tell you who built the scooter and where.
The model year is encoded in the 10th character of the VIN, and the decoder translates it for you. In our data, CPI model years run from 2003 to 2014.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft entries or owners, so the decoder cannot report them. It reads the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture, nothing more.
Compare the VIN stamped on the frame with the plate and the registration papers, and make sure they match. Also check that the engine size in the papers fits the scooter, since the models in our data range from 49 to 124 cc.
