the best advice, to avoid the hassle of all the stuff is ask if they have the title. if they say yes, make sure its in their name. and ask to see a id. Its not rude to do these things. After all you are spending alot of money and theres alot of jerks out there that like to rip ppl off. I drove for more than an hour to buy a bike, I asked the guy if he had the title, he said yeah. when I got there he showed me the title, that was in someone elses name, and just said "oh I never bothered to put it in my name" it was also for a completely different bike with a different vin #. does he care I wasted my day off and 2 hours of my time to get there and back? no. the vin # should be on the frame by the handle bars. alot of times ppl spray over it to hide it too. get some like paint remover stuff and some steel wool. scrub away, and walah.
bottom line, dont buy a bike without a title. if you buy a bike with a bill of sale, it can still be stolen, and they will still take it.
not everyone has a title- just have the numbers ran-
there sold with a certificate of origin- titles just mean more money - for a bike that is not rode on the road
if it seems suspicious why buy it
