Aftermarket engine cases, too. Later aftermarket frames were required to have numbers. Many people legally and illegally swapped engines into frames. Because of this, there are many bikes incorrectly registered. What does all of this mean? Well, it means a few things. Similarly, one can create a bike with bad numbers on one component and good numbers on another.
Someone builds a cone-Shovel-powered chopper. Would I buy a bike like this? Only if I was parting it out. Is that VIN correct? Title errors are why we encourage folks in our used bike buying guide to check — and double check — that the number on the bike is the same number that's on the title. If a title has errors on it, life can get sticky. Perhaps the year is wrong. Perhaps the VIN has some transposed or incorrect numbers.
Let me relate a couple of stories. At some point in time, a friend bought an old Suzuki GS for next to nothing. It was not expensive because the title had mistakes. The friend asked for advice. I told him to insure the bike with the VIN that was supposed to be correct, and smudge the title in a beneficial way. Then I sent him to the busiest DMV in the worst part of town that was constantly jammed with customers. The clerk keyed the VIN in just like it should have been 20 years ago.
Two wrongs in this case made a right. Another scenario involved a friend who bought a Knucklehead that was built into a chopper in When the title came in the mail.
However, remember the previous scenario with title errors? Harley did not put numbers onto frames in This bike was legal and unstolen, but now looks fishy to law enforcement. If you flip vehicles regularly and are close with someone at the DMV, you can get a lot of this stuff rectified with a polite request and a few keystrokes. If not, it may require massive amounts of effort to have a title rectified. An SPCN tag sold solo, however, is a different story. Your state may keep the paperwork on file from what components were used when the bike was first registered.
They may not. Even if they do, self-assembled titles have been around for a long time. Components get replaced as they wear out. Would I buy something like this? Yeah, I probably would. The bums will always lose!
Navigation Menu. Wish List. The reason for this is simple. That means the seller could hand you what appears to be a clean title only for it to come back salvage after you register it. Talk about bad business. Avoid that scenario by running a VIN check on any bike you plan to buy. That VIN check will also reveal any liens currently placed on the bike.
An active lien means the owner financed the bike. In other words, the lienholder owns the bike until the lien is paid off. Shady sellers will try to offload a bike they still owe money on, leaving you to fight an uphill legal battle to straighten everything out. Be sure to ask the seller about any active liens shown on the VIN check or printed on the paper title. There are several possibilities here, so let's look at the most common title statuses.
In the following states, the seller must have the title notarized before the sale:. This means the motorcycle has been totaled by an insurance company at some point. The paper title will be branded as such in big bold letters, usually near the top right corner.
Some states require an inspection before the vehicle can be titled again. Check your state's requirements before committing to a purchase. Buying a salvage title bike may sound like an easy way to get a discount. But insuring a previously totaled motorcycle costs more than a clean title would. And existing damage could prevent you from filing claims on those parts of the bike in the future. Not to mention…. A change to Salvage or Rebuilt only happens if an insurance company deems the motorcycle a total loss.
That could be anything from a harmless low-speed layover to a frame-bending high-side, so ask the seller for details. Those are telltale signs that a more serious accident occurred. To protect yourself, ask the seller to provide you with the bike's VIN number and run a check on it.
If you think buying a stolen motorcycle is no big deal, think again: when the right person finds out you have it, police officers will knock at your front door and all that money you spent will disappear into thin air. Be sure to pay less than you would for a bike with a title! It's pretty easy, really.
