Moto Guzzi framenumbers Also known as VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)

ZGU LZ 000 0 Y M XXXXXX

ZGU= WMI CODE (World manufacturer identifier) = manufacturer identification
LZ = MODEL
000 = VERSION VARIANT (may consist of letters or numerals)
0 = FREE DIGIT (value from 0 to 9)
Y = YEAR OF MANUFACTURE (from 2001 this code is a number, 9 = 2009 A=2010 B= 2011)
M = PRODUCTION PLANT (M = Mandello) (S= Scorzè, Aprilia factory) 
XXXXXX = SERIAL NUMBER (6 numerals ?? 111111 = 1st VEHICLE MANUFACTURED)
Therefore, chassis number ZGULZ00029M112790, for example, refers to a base version Stelvio produced by Moto Guzzi at Mandello in 2009. In particular, this would be the 1680th example of the motorcycle produced.

ZGU All road vehicles manufactured since 1977 possess a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN comprises 17 characters: the first 3 (or in some cases 6 letters) denote the World Manufacturers Identifier (WMI) i.e. the company which built the vehicle, and the remaining characters are specific to each vehicle manufactured (make, model, year and place of manufacture etc.).
In Italy codes start with the letter Z  and here are some examples:

ZBB Bertone ZC2 Maserati/Chrysler
ZDM Ducati ZFA Alfa Romeo

P.S. : A lot of this information comes direct and indirect from '80 years of Moto Guzzi Motorcycles' by Mario Colombo, the Moto Guzzi Bible. (A birthday gift from my wife Marga).
* Between 1954 and 1972 a new set of criteria was used to identify frames: in place of the numerical progression using Arabic numerals the makers began using a code formed by one or two letters, two numbers and two letters. The first letter or group of letters identifies the vehicle type and, especially at the beginning of the series, this was often an abbreviation for the commercial name of the motorcycle. For example : L = Lodola. FS = Falcone Sport. The combination of the numbers and the letters of the second and third group form the serial number of the unit in question.
** Models bearing a serial number with the same prefix differ only as far as trim is concerned and belong to the same homologation batch.
Any inconsistencies between the dates shown in this list and those quoted in the text are due to the time lapses between the manufacture and the actual launch of the various models.
