I know many have already received their Experias, but I'm still waiting (I ordered late 2022).  An excerpt from the Energica newsletter in my inbox today: "Still waiting for the Experia electric sport touring bikes to arrive?  Later this week, the last of the Experia deliveries to fulfill current U.S. Pre-Sale Customer orders will leave the factory.  After this, we’ll start providing demo bikes to our dealers for the autumn."

I wonder how many Experias are now in the USA. And how many in the rest of the world. I assume very few. Anybody with a VIN number in more than two digits? I have number 18.

Mine is 82, delivered last month.

As mentioned in the "It's February" thread, someone has #120 in one of the Scandinavian countries.

094, ordered 7/10/22, delivery 7/13/23.  Worth the wait, but I had other motorcycles to ride in the interim.

Question: how does one sign up for the Energica newsletter?

Mine is 39, took delivery end of March.  FYI, also the bike is a model year 2024, not 2023. (I see you are listing yours as a 2023) 

Energica screwed up the MSO on my bike originally, neither the dealer or I caught it when doing the paperwork.  They issued a corrected MSO and I had to get the title corrected so it matched what Energica registered with NHTSA for the bike.  https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/Decoder

You have one too many "Decoder" in your link and it will not work as shown.  So use this for the Vin numbers.




Mine comes back as:

Manufacturer: ENERGICA MOTOR COMPANY SPA
DBAs:
Vehicle Type: MOTORCYCLE
Model Year: 2023
Make: ENERGICA
Model: EXPERIA
Body Class: Motorcycle - Touring / Sport Touring

And if I put in year "2024" I receive this message:


"Model Year Warning - Model Year entered for decoding with VIN does not match the model year based on the 10th position in VIN."

BTW, in many countries the model year must match the current year. That caused a lot of confusion in the Triumph SE Forum as the first-year model was 2012 in England but 2013 in the USA. Both are the same year model. And the same for all the other years, our model was often a year later than theirs for the same bike.


I assume all or most of Europe is the same way . . . or is it?  I think that means if you buy a new bike or car on December 31 2022 in England, it is a 2022 model there but most likely a 2023 model here in the USA for the exact same model vehicle.


Perhaps those in Europe can explain how that works there compared to here.




Is there any difference in the 2024 Experia compared to the 2023 or is it just a MY change in date?

My Experia was "actually built" in very late November of 2022 but is classed as a 2023 model.....I don't know how a bike delivered in March of 2023 can be a 2024 model....New model year machines don't usually start production until ~September/October of the previous year.

Just curious....If you took delivery in March...how on earth can it be a 2024 model..?? Mine is VIN 029 and was actually built late Nov 2022, I'm assuming with yours being VIN 039, it would have been built not too far away from Xmas of 2022.

Model year 2024 bikes haven't even started production yet....and won't until Sept/Oct.

The same bike can have a different model year in two different countries, as I said in my previous message. The MY is decided by the country, not where it was made.


But AFAIK, the VIN number will always be correct. Perhaps there is something in the VIN number that shows what country the bike is being shipped to.

To decode a VIN number:


The first character notes the country of origin.
The second character notes the Make/Manufacturer.
The third character notes the type of vehicle it is (truck, bus, etc), the division within a manufacturer (Honda, Acura), or both (Acura car).
Characters four through nine are the Vehicle Descriptor Section. This field varies depending on the manufacturer, but they all proide information on the chassis, transmission type, body type, and trim level.
Characters 10 to 17 are called the Vehicle Identifier Section. These numbers are used by the manufacturer to identify the specific car in question.
Characters 12 to 17 represent the Production Sequence Number. The first model off the production line is 000001.
