Decode your VIN and Serial. Find out what your machine is!

[rdlsz24]

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!

I just did my three. The 85 Big Red I have came back as only a 1985 model ATC. The 2004 quad I have came back as an invalid VIN number. The 83
200e BR came back correct.

Can you PM me your 85 Big Red VIN so I can try it and get it working? The quad VIN won't work since this is only for Honda ATC's. I had to cut it off somewhere

Actually if it figured out it's an 85 then you just need to check if the 4th through 8th digits are TE040. It that's not in there it won't figure out it's a 250es.

Here is the VIN. Maybe I missed a number when I entered it.

It does not decode US90's. They are easy to figure out compared to the newer vin numbers.

I have code in there for the US 90's, but it may not be working correctly. What is your VIN?

Edit here is my code for the US 90's:

if (InputString.substring(0, 7) == "US90100")
{
Year = "1970-1971";
Model = "US 90";
DisplayResults(Year, Model);
return;
}

if (InputString.substring(0, 7) == "US90200")
{
Year = "1972-1973";
Model = "US 90";
DisplayResults(Year, Model);
return;
}

That's checking if the first 7 digits matches what's in the quotes. I got that info from the Specs section on the homepage.

I'm going to check this out tomorrow. I have an old ATC200 that I don't know the year of.

Cool that's exactly why I made this :

When you get the bugs worked out of this I'd be very interested in putting a link to this on the main page, and also in the WCH sub-forum. Thumbs up for this thread.


Any chance for other brands, like Yamaha, Kawasaki, etc?

Came back correct for me this time to. Must have hit a wrong key the first time.
