53K production number vs VIN

Postby Andchristoph » Sun Mar 25, 2018 8:08 pm

Hello, I'm new in this forum. My K-Model has VIN 53K2103 but in 1953 where only about 1700 K-Models sold. Is my VIN correct? Thx

Yes. The serial numbers (VINs) started with 1001 (or maybe 1000) each year. So the first 1953 was 53 K 1001, and the last was about 53 K 2723.

The page Technical : Numbers talks about this in more detail.

Try the Shipping Date Guess-O-Meter to see when (roughly) your bike was shipped from the factory.
