Risking to be off topic, I want to bring forth factory VINs.
I am noticing that the vin #s production order are the last 6 digits of the VIN
However, we know from Piaggio (thanks Brenwin!) that the quantity of Ballabio's manufactured , 628 total and 223 in 2004.
Now, up here in this thread there Po18guy's 2004 bike with Vin 111321 (that is larger than the 223 count).
How can that be?
I guess I got it (please correct me if you know better).
The theory:
My vin is 111128, but the MG guys are not starting from zero, rather, it seems they are starting either from 111111 or from 111112
If we assume their first bike is number 111112 (assuming 111111 equals zero), then my own Ballabio VIN # being 111128would correspond to the #17 production for the 2004 year
and the vin 111333 would be the #233 or the last produced in 2004.
If you adhere to this theory, you can find your manufacturing order in the tables below
Example: Po18guy's vin 111321 the is one of the last, with production order 210 of 223
italo disco !
