You either have a stolen bike that has part of the vin filed down or a pre 1981 KTM.
In 1981 the NHTSA required all vehicles to have a standard, 17-character vehicle identification number, or VIN. Since then, automakers all over the world have adopted the VIN. Before 1981, the system manufacturers assigned VINs anywhere from 11 to 17 digits/characters.
Locate the vin number (17 digits) on the right side of the steering head tube, then enter it in the vin decoder at this web link: http://www.motoverse.com/tools/vin/ktm.asp It will provide you with more info than you probably wanted to know along with the model and year of your KTM.
That is all the digits that was needed up until 1981 when the 17 digit VIN replaced the 13 digit.
That isn't enough digits to be a VIN. A VIN is 17 digits long.
The vin number listed above is for a 2001 KTM 50SXR.
it is a pre-1990 vin #, anything after that has 17 digits.
It's not a Yamaha Vin number. The vin number is for a 2008 KTM SX.
VIN is the vehicle identification number. The VIN is a string of 17 digits that makes it possible to identify and track the activities of a specific vehicle. The VIN never goes to 20 digits.
I have an 07 525 and the VIN is located on the right side of the steering head tube.
Not a full vin, not enough to work with. A vin is 17 digits.
17 digits
Since 1965 to 1971 VIN Numbers where only 13 digits. Here is a site to explain VIN numbers (see related link)
I have the same model and the older models like yours only had 7 digits not the normal 13. The vin# is behind the right front tire on the frame next to your shift lever. Its going to be a "7" digit #. Your model # decal should be in the same location.
