Motorcycle VIN Check
« on: September 08, 2010, 05:18:41 PM »
Hi folks. I'm looking at buying a bike without a title. It is a dual purpose bike, so I'm thinking if it has never been registered for on road use, it should be fairly safe to go through the bill of sale titling process. Anyone able to run a CarFax or equivalent on it to see if it has ever been registered?

TIA

If you don't get a title, you should at least get an MSO, Manufacturer's Statement of Origin.  If you don't get any official paperwork at all, it might be difficult to get titled. 

Good luck,

Have you tried taking the VIN to DVS and have them run it?

Yay!  The DR350...It'll get ya there! :) :) :)  Great bike.  I've really enjoyed mine.  Riding it on the TMaT tomorrow!!! :)

Just to warn you, the DR350's usually move really fast when they become available locally.  Maybe the lack of a title will slow this one down enough
for you to snatch it up.
