Gt550 vin/frame number

Post by 75gt550 »

Ok i have a gt55o that i believe to be a 75 I got it with no title and im trying to find the vin so i can get a new one. Of couse all the sticker/tags have cam off and ill i can find is five numbers stamped into the frame head. Im not used to dealing with older bikes so is that the "vin" number?

You are correct, the VIN is GT550xxxxxx, where xxxxx is the five digits.
The starting 5 digits for each model year is listed here: http://www.ozebook.com/compendium/suzi/ ... engnos.htm

Suzuki frame & engine VINs of this era typically don't match.
BAS (Bike Acquisition Syndrome) - too many bikes but have room for more

Suzuki:
GT750 2x75
GT550 72 & 75
GT380 72
T500 69 project & 73 project
T350 69 & 71
Honda 85 CB650SC & 86 CB700SC
09 Triumph Bonneville SE
