What the decoder shows for a Hyosung

  • The manufacturer and the country of manufacture, from the first three characters
  • The model year, from the 10th character
  • The assembly plant code and the serial number
  • Whether the check digit fits (a clear sign of a mistyped or altered number in North America)

How to read the VIN of a Hyosung motorcycle

A VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are not used. Characters 1 to 3 identify the manufacturer and the country. Characters 4 to 8 describe the machine, but each maker codes them in its own way, so they do not translate into a model name by themselves. Character 9 is a check digit, required in North America. Character 10 is the model year, and it is what places a Hyosung somewhere between 1998 and 2025, the years in our data. Character 11 marks the assembly plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.

On a motorcycle the VIN is usually stamped into the frame, often near the steering head, and repeated on a plate or sticker. It is also written in the registration papers. Whether you are looking at a Rally 50, a GV 250 Aquila or a GT 650R, those are the places to check. VINs of 17 characters apply to vehicles built since 1981. If a frame number is shorter than that, the decoder cannot read it.

Questions and answers

Where do I find the VIN on a Hyosung motorcycle?

Look at the frame first, often near the steering head, where the number is usually stamped into the metal. It may also be printed on a plate or sticker, and it appears in the registration papers.

What do the first characters of a Hyosung VIN mean?

The first three characters identify the manufacturer and the country where it was built. The decoder reads them to show you the maker and the country of manufacture.

How do I find the model year of a Hyosung from its VIN?

The tenth character of the VIN stands for the model year, and the decoder translates it for you. Our data covers model years 1998 to 2025. The model year is not always the same as the year of first registration.

What can the decoder not show me about a Hyosung?

It reads only the VIN, so you get the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. Accidents, mileage, theft entries and owners are not stored in the VIN.

What should I check before buying a used Hyosung?

Compare the VIN on the frame with the one on the plate and in the registration papers, and make sure they match character for character. Check that the stamped number looks clean and untouched, and ask the seller for service records.
