Wow
There is an error in the listing for Yamaha. The LPR designation is correct for Yamaha of Taiwan. A Yamaha representative explained that LPR can be used for both Taiwan and China. Those scooters built in Taiwan say “Yamaha Motor Taiwan Co” on the ID sticker under the seat. Those built in China say “Yamaha-Linhai Motor Co” The C3, Zuma and Vino 50 are built in Taiwan with imported Japanese parts (engine, fuel system, most mechanicals). The Vino 125 is completely manufactured in Taiwan. All of these scooters bear the “LPR” VIN numbers. The Linhai scooters are completely manufactured in China, using 90% Chinese made parts.
help, I’ve got a 50cc Xingyue and cannot decipher the vin number can anyone help me, PLEASE!!!
what’s the number? I’ve seen some Chinese scooters with VINS that don’t conform to the international standard, but most of them had been brought in illegally, or were on display at trade shows. Some have different plates with different codes, so be sure you’re looking at the VIN and not some Xingyue-specific code. The real VIN should be on the title, too, of course.
