Enter the VIN of a Moto Morini motorcycle to read what the number says.
Enter a 17-character VIN and the Moto Morini decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data covers 61 Moto Morini models from 1973 to the present, from the Milano and Seiemmezzo to the X-Cape 1200 and Calibro Twin, with engines from 123 to 1187 cc and up to 140 hp. The decoder is free and needs no registration.
A VIN carries no accident entries, mileage, theft records or owner changes, so the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a vehicle history report.

A modern VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. The first three identify the manufacturer and the country, positions 4 to 8 describe the machine in a code each maker sets itself, and position 9 is a check digit that North America requires. The 10th character gives 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, the year and the country of manufacture.
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 in the registration papers, so you can compare all of them. Our Moto Morini data starts in 1973, but 17-character VINs apply only to vehicles built since 1981. An early machine can carry a shorter frame number that a VIN decoder cannot read. A later one such as a Corsaro 1200, Granpasso 1200 or Milano 1200 should have the full 17 characters.
The decoder reads the number. A history report looks for the records tied to it.
Moto Morini history reportLook at the frame first, often near the steering head, where the number is usually stamped. It is also printed on a plate or sticker and in the registration papers.
The first three characters identify the manufacturer and the country where it was built. Characters 4 to 8 describe the machine, but each maker codes them in its own way.
The 10th character of the VIN stands for the model year, and the decoder translates it for you. Our catalogue lists Moto Morini models from 1973 to the present, though machines built before 1981 may have a shorter frame number that cannot be decoded.
It reads only the VIN itself, so you get the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. Accidents, mileage, theft entries and previous owners are not part of the VIN.
Compare the VIN on the frame with the one on the plate and in the registration papers, and make sure they match. Then check that the decoded model year fits the machine and the seller's description, for example a Seiemmezzo or a Scrambler 1200.
