Which of those machines are actually comparable

VIN prefixes assigned to Shanghai Meitian Motorcycle Co., Ltd.
If your frame number starts with one of these three characters, NHTSA has it recorded against this manufacturer. Check the first three characters of the VIN stamped on the frame or shown on the VIN plate.

A VIN prefix identifies the company that registered the code, which is not always the company that built your engine — importers sometimes register their own. Treat it as corroboration for the emission label, not a replacement for it.
