I got a Chance to buy a 1984 GS125e (single cylinder 124cc designed to look like a Katana.) THe problem I have is that the serial on the chassis stem starts with KM4XXXXXXX. This initially means made in Korea (not Japan) but all I can find on line about M4 is Mercury trucks as manufacturer. This cant be right. Suzukicycles.org does not give info on this first three digits. Anyone else knows anything about the VIN decoding of 10 digit serial numbers?
