Triumph motorcycles have now produced over one million motorcycles since the start of production. The
last motorcycle with a six digit chassis identification number has been produced and allocated number
999999. The six digits are replaced by an alpha numeric chassis identification number and the first
motorcycle has been allocated AA0001.
Models with a Chassis Identification Number (known as the VIN) from VIN number 1,000,000 (one million), two
prefix letters replace the first two numbers followed by four numbers e.g AA1234.
Models with a Chassis Identification Number starting at VIN 000001 up to VIN 999999 are displayed as
numbers only e.g 123456.

A VIN consists of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique form of identification.
No two motorcycles have the same VIN.
A VIN displays the Motorcycles unique features, specifications and manufacturer.
A VIN can be used for information regarding service bulletins, warranty claims and general search
functions related to the individual motorcycle
A standard 17 character vehicle identification number (VIN) is required to display the motorcycles individual
build characteristics.
The illustrations displayed within this bulletin explain the logic related to the 17 digits.
