Why run a VIN check on a motorcycle?

Motorcycles are high-risk purchases. Odometer fraud is common, and safety recalls can be life-threatening on two wheels. ZipVIN pulls directly from federal databases to confirm the bike is what the seller says it is.

Verify Engine Specs

Confirm the exact displacement (cc), cylinders, and model year. Don't pay for a 1200cc if it's actually an 883cc.

Safety Recalls

Check for un-repaired safety issues like brake failures, frame cracks, or fuel leaks reported to the NHTSA.

Theft & Title Check

Need to know if it's stolen or salvaged? Our partners can run a full title search. (Premium Feature)

Compatibility

Works on Cruisers, Sportbikes, Touring, Dirt Bikes, ATVs, and Scooters.

Supports All Major Powersports Brands

If it has a standard 17-digit VIN, we can decode it.

Where is the VIN on a motorcycle?

1

Steering Neck

Stamped vertically on the frame where the front forks connect. This is the most common location.

2

Motor Mount

Often on a sticker or plate near the front down-tubes or engine block.

3

Title/Registration

Always verify the VIN on the frame matches the paperwork exactly. Mismatched VINs are a red flag.
