Re: My buddie just got screwed over hard. Whats your advise
Ok so my buddy has been looking at r6s for a while now. He found one on a cycle website and it was 05 r6 with 3000 miles in great condition. He called the guy and the guy gave him a story of that the bike is at his wifes house who he is seperated from and he lives in NYC but that if he was serious about buying the bike he can go pick it up from his wifes and meet him. so they went and met up at some parking lot in north jersey. (My buddy is not the brightest at times by the way) So he meets him up there and he takes the bike for a ride they agree on a price ($5700) and he signs over the tittle to him. well this was on friday. Sunday he brings the bike over to my house and were looking at it and i take it out arouud the block and i take a look at the tittle and it didnt look at all like any tittle id ever seen before. So i look at my dads yamaha tittles for his bike and they look nothign alike. So i look at the vin on the tittle and go to look on the bike and the vins on the frame are grinded off. we then called my buddys uncle whos a cop and he told us the tittle is fake. he then called pone of his coworkers that was on duty and they ran the guys imformation and there was no address or person of the guy who sold him the bike. so the bike was obviously stolen and a fake tittle made for it.
My friends uncle (the cop) told us that he probaly shouldnt report it becuase they wont be able to find the guy and they will impound the bike and he will be out the $5700. He told us to somhow make it legal or sell the parts or somthing. I feel real bad doing this knowing the bike is problay stolen but i also looked at it if we dont then 2 people got robed for all that money.
My friend asked me what the posibilitys are to do to make it so he can register it and the only thing i can think of is to buy a 05 r6 frame with a clean tittle and swap evrythign over. i figure its probaly going to cost him like 1500 but its the only thing i can think of. Dose anyone else have any ideas? Also dose anyone have any idea how the guy wouldof had a stolen bike yet have keys for it? I guess he just swaped the ignition?

Re: My buddie just got screwed over hard. Whats your advise
I've had a bike stolen from me with liability only. Its a pretty unsettling feeling. On the other hand, I also aqcuired a bike and didnt check the VIN numbers and had it impounded and threatened with a felony charge. Its an easy mistake. How many people have bought a car and not checked the VIN. Its someone giving someone else the benefit of the doubt that they arent selling you something stolen. Find the guy you bought the bike from and kick some ***. Part the bike out, buy a new one. $7200 after swapping a frame is silly for an 05 R6.
