Here you go:
US models and post-2002 Euro models have a 17 character VIN as follows:
Characters 1-3: World Manufacturer Identifier ( i.e. ZDM = Ducati)
Characters 4-8: Vehicle Descriptor Code assigned by manufacturer where,
Ducati coding method: (I'm speculating here based on a number of examples)
Mandated info (4 - Type of motorcycle, line, engine type, and net brake horsepower.
Character 4: Motorcycle Type: 1 = street version, 3 = race version Character 5: Motorcycle Line: H = homologation model, L = supersport, S = superbike, R = monster, T = sport touring, U = 9X9 series, V = Multistrada
Character 6: Motorcycle Model: street model variations A, B, C; race model variations 7, 9
Characters 7 - 8: engine information code
Character 9: check digit used to verify the accuracy of the vehicle identification number.
Character 10: Model Year Code where,
R = 1994 S = 1995 T = 1996 V = 1997 W = 1998 X = 1999 Y = 2000 1 = 2001 2 = 2002 3 = 2003
Character 11: Factory Code (B = Bologna, V = Varase (the old MV factory)
Characters 12-17: six digit serial number.
EXAMPLES:
ZDM 1SB 8S 0 S B 003783 US 1995 916 Strada
Note: Prior to 2002, European models had a 13-character VIN, causing registration problems in some States. Here's an example
ZDM H100AA X B 002526 Euro 1999 996SPS
Finally, to answer your question, here's an example from a bike that sold on ebay

It isn't so.cagiva905 wrote:The letters ZDM are not Ducati specific, nor really related to the specific serial no. It is a reference for Italian homologation purposes that are not used outside of Italy.
ZDM is the international WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) of the Ducati factory.
Z=Italy (i.e. ZGU=Moto Guzzi, ZFA=Fiat/Alfa Romeo...)
D=Ducati
M=Meccanica

Varese is the CA.GI.VA. factory (old owner of the Ducati brand and today owner of the MV brand).jcslocum wrote:Character 11: Factory Code (B = Bologna, V = Varase (the old MV factory)
There, in fact, they built all the 916 during the first year of production (1994).
