I picked up a beat Honda 110 yesterday and I know it's a first gen because of the round headlight, but other than that I wasn't sure. So I went digging to decode the VIN and thought it would be nice if I could just plug this in somewhere and have it spit out the year and model to me. It just so happens writing software is my job so I whipped up a decoder webpage.
Here it is: http://atcvin.webs.com
Try it out and let me know if it is accurate. I have run quite a few VINs through it, and I am fairly confident the 1980+ VINs will decode correctly. It's the pre-1980 VINs that were a little tricky.
Not sure if anybody has already made one of these, but I like making simple little apps like this so if there is already one it's no big deal.
Oh yeah I figured out my 110 is a '79. Woot first year 110!
