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.

Where is the VIN on a motorcycle?
Steering Neck
Stamped vertically on the frame where the front forks connect. This is the most common location.
Motor Mount
Often on a sticker or plate near the front down-tubes or engine block.
Title/Registration
Always verify the VIN on the frame matches the paperwork exactly. Mismatched VINs are a red flag.
