Ducati US Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Post-1980 US models and post-2002 non-US models have a 17-character VIN as follows:
Characters 1-3: World Manufacturer Identifier
Z = Italy
D = Ducati
M = Motorcycle ( i.e. ZDM = Ducati)
Vehicle Descriptor Section
The 4th through 8th positions in the VIN are the Vehicle Descriptor Section or VDS. This is used, according to local regulations, to identify the vehicle type and may include information on the platform used, the model, and the body style. Each manufacturer has a unique system for using this field.
Character 4: Motorcycle Type
1 = street version
2 = dual purpose version
3 = off-highway racing version
