Saturno Bialbero Anniversary.

Post by camionjeep » Thu Apr 06, 2023 2:43 am

Hi, I have recently purchased a Saturno Bialbero Anniversary from New Zealand and are trying to import it into Australia. The issue I have is proving the date of manufacture from the Vin number. There appears to only be 11 numbers in the Vin, and all decoders want 17 numbers which is what a modern Vin has.

The numbers are; Vin M8222-100836, Frame 939039, and Engine 221*002329

Any help would be greatly appreciated working out the year and month of build date.
Andrew.

Hello and welcome

The japanese VINs are somehow different to those around here.

The european (worldwide, except Japan?) VINs are

222 for Saturno
100xxx

If i remove the M8 from yours...
Your 836 should be a later one
Around 1991 i would say

There is a register in Arcore.
But i suppose they only have the data from the old Gileras.
Don't know if they know bout the Nuovo Saturno.
Maybe it's worth to send a little mail...

Thanks Joachim, I'll see what I can turn up. I am still trying to get a reply from Piaggio, but no luck so far. Was this model actually built when Piaggio was the owner of Gilera, or was it someone else? I think it will be a fun journey chasing all the information on this bike. I actually already own a Gilera, a 125 CX, which is the best handling bike I've ever ridden ( I've been riding since I was 4 years old, now 60, so there's been a few), is there a place on the site that covers these bikes? Information on them is a little scarce.

Ciao; Andrew.
