Decoding the VIN on Motorcycles: Meaning and Feng Shui

“There’s a saying that ‘Durability depends on the user,’ but for it to last, you must choose carefully and correctly. Choosing a beautiful license plate is one thing, but the frame and engine numbers must also be ‘compatible’ with the owner to ensure smooth sailing on all roads,” shared Mr. Nguyen Van A, a renowned vehicle feng shui expert in Hanoi. Indeed, besides the license plate, the frame and engine numbers – also known as the VIN on a motorcycle – hold many interesting and meaningful secrets that not everyone knows. So, what is the VIN? How to “decode” these mysterious numbers? Let’s explore with Hanoi Trucks!

What is the VIN on a Motorcycle?

The VIN on a motorcycle is essentially the frame and engine number engraved on the vehicle. Typically, you can find this sequence of numbers in the following locations:

• On the body of the motorcycle: For some models, the frame and engine numbers are embossed on the body. You can easily observe them with the naked eye.
• Under the seat: Most modern motorcycles have the frame and engine numbers located under the seat. You just need to open the seat to see this sequence of numbers.

This frame and engine number sequence is the motorcycle’s “identification card,” helping to distinguish it from other vehicles and used for registration, insurance purchases, etc.

The Meaning of the VIN on a Motorcycle

The VIN is not just a random sequence of numbers but carries many meanings:

• Vehicle Identification: Each motorcycle manufactured has a unique frame and engine number. This helps authorities easily manage and look up vehicle information.
• Determining Origin and Manufacturing Location: Based on the frame and engine number, you can determine where and when your motorcycle was manufactured.
• Warranty Verification: When warranty or repair is needed, the frame and engine number will help you prove the vehicle’s “history,” allowing you to benefit from the appropriate warranty policy.

VIN and Feng Shui: Fact or Fiction?

Many people believe that, like license plates, frame and engine numbers also affect the owner’s fate. For example, business people often prefer numbers with lucky meanings like 6 (prosperity), 8 (wealth), 9 (longevity)… Conversely, they will avoid numbers considered unlucky like 4 (death), 7 (loss).

However, according to feng shui expert Le Thi B, “the influence of frame and engine numbers on feng shui is just a folk belief, without any scientific basis. The important thing is to choose a motorcycle that suits your needs, financial situation, and to drive carefully, obeying traffic laws.”
