found a guy with a fiddy i like to buy but he says that it does not have a title is this true? the bike is a 2001 xr50 please send a reply quickly this seems to be a fairly stand up guy...

 

I think it may depend on the state. I didn't get a title when I bought mine (used).

 

jacksonville N.C. thats where he is from.

 

mine doesnt have a title, my sano frame didnt come with one either

 

thanks guys.....

 

mine does. bought it brand new though. the dude should have it if he bought his brand new; probobly stolen if he doesn't. i'd buy it anyway

 

I bought mine with no title for 300 regaurdless of the title it was a good buy so i say BUY IT!!!!!

 

My '05 has a serial number on the frame and it comes with a title just like a car title .

A xr model should to . The reason why csimps sano frame doesnt have a title is because it is an aftermarket frame . Made to fit a honda . You should always keep the original frame if you replace it . That way you can show the person that the title matches the bike .

The title proves it is your bike . And should come with one . I believe all hondas do . The honda frame has a plaque near the front with the vin # .

If you buy this bike and it is a stolen bike , and if you ever get stopped buy the cops , they will run the vin # just like a car . You will be charged with stolen property . They will take your bike and you will most likely not get it back .

Even if it is not stolen , or has an aftermarket frame , you still have to prove somehow that it is your bike to the police . A title and vin # proves it is yours and it is registered to you .

If the person doesn't have the title , get the vin # and check it . If it is not stolen , you might be able to register it and get a duplicate title that will have your info on it .

I do not believe honda changes their bikes from state to state . They get shipped to the states with the same frames as any other state . Which is why i believe there should be a title for every bike , for every state .

Also get a receipt (bill of sale) with the persons signature saying he sold it to you .

if i was you i would get a bill of sale and not worry about it, if for some reason your scared that its stolen, write the vin# on the bill of sale, the last bike i bought from a dealership was an 04 ktm 450sx, and i didnt get anything with that but a reciept, most people dont keep that little "title" they give you with an off-road vehicle cause it doesnt really do anything, also when i traded in a dirtbike that i had bought brand new, i didnt have it and they didnt question it

 

^^^^ maybe ktm is different .

But honda gives you an ACTUAL real title . Exactly like a car title .

The title gets sent to you thru the mail . From the state . I got mine right away cause i bought my honda with cash .

If you finance it , when you are done paying , they send it to you afterwards . Just like a car loan .

If you buy it off someone used , they should have the title in their hand .

This is a picture of my 98 honda civic car title and my '05 honda crf 50 title . Exactly the same . Something you don't throw away .

weird, the one for my kawi dirtbike was just a little certificate, nothing like that

 

I dont have titles on my yz250 or my fiddy... unless you are gonna make it street legal you dont need it

 

I didn't get a title with mine. They are not street legal anyways so **** it.

 

try an talk him down on the price, i got my 02 with mods an no title for 400. doesnt rele matter though its not like ur gona register it an ride it like a moped

 

i dont have a title to 2 of my 50's. something like a 50 its no big deal.

 

Until you find out its stolen

 

In Michingan 50's come with a title. Well an MSO (Motorvehicle state of Origin). Which is what our state uses to issue a title.

 

everybike should come with an MSO.. it's the documentation for the bikes use and also proof of the owner should teh bike get impounded.. a lot of my older dirt bikes were bought without a title, but you're damn skippy i hada bill of sale with vin # on it and 2 witnesses sign it...better safe than sorry about not havinga bike, and possesion of stolen property

at least get a bill of sale wth vin # and witnesses.. you can use that toapply for some sort of proof of ownership, each state is slightly different

 

yeah....it's never a big deal, until it's a big deal....

 

alot of times too if you buy something from the dealer like a quad or fiddy and put it on a payment plan honda holds onto the title until you pay up in full and even then most times they forget and the owner forgets to ask for it.
