What can be done with a clean title, no bike? Why are they so valuable? I see them for sale all the time.

That's a question only a cop would ask.

lets just say you buy a bike or financed a bike and it becomes "stolen" you can buy a title and stamp that vin number onto the frame and wa la you have a bike with clean numbers and legal (unless you get caught)

wtf. there is no way people would do that!?!

Topek

I think I sence sarcasm lol

old man roger

some people have cod titled bikes which cant be registered so they can buy a clean title and a new frame from the dealer and register that ..

Mr. Hooligan

and some people buy a title and then steal a bike stamp a # on it and call it good

What about for those who still have possesion of their clean title but their bike was stolen and claimed through insurance? I don't believe that the new title owner would be able to reregister that same vin off that title. I'm sure there have been people getting screwed buying a clean title from someone and can't even use it?

It's no longer a clean title if you claimed it against insurance. The title in your hand maybe clean but the VIN associated is no longer clean. If you got a new title issued it would more than likely be a salvaged or rebuilt title(at least it would be here in TX). I'm pretty sure that title is useless.
