  3. yes, I've seen that post.
    but . ZDMH200 on both 996b and 996r - how can it be possible?
     
  4. i just tried to decode one of the vin numbers according to the above post and it makes no sense !
     
    • Agree Agree x 1
  5. for example: what can you tell me about this bike:
    ZDMH200AAYB010766
     
  6. That is described as Moto 996 BIP 01 GBR Manufactured 21/9/2000
     
  7. Never quite works for me either when I decode. I think it's slightly different for the USA which throws it out. But not sure on that.
     
  8. I think Desmo Dave has decoded it properly up there :rolleyes: now you just need the other one for him to do :)
     
  9. Thought this was a thread about French wine :(
     
  10. he sorted me out. all done and correct!
