Buying a motorcycle with no title?(pink slip)
Hello all once more. Tomorrow I am going to check out a CBR and it seems like a really nice bike! owner seems cool and honest, however he told me that the title was in his parents house. He said he will write me a bill of sale and will sign the papers and just mail it to me and I will recieve it in a couple of days. Is this a good idea or no? I live in CA BTW

I just bought my bike and found several good options for reasonable prices so no reason to rush your purchase. Good luck.

If the bike is close to you then you can go look at it and then if you're interested in buying it then tell the guy that you are interested in buying it but you have to see the title first. This way if he really has the title it will motivate him to get it soon and if he doesn't have the title you didn't get screwed over.

I agree totally.. Why would someone sell a bike and be too lazy to go get title so that it's in hand before posting it for sale? Is the seller really lazy or is something fishy going on?
If I wanted the bike and considered him reasonably honest I would put a deposit down but have a bill of sale wrote up contingent on title being produced. With it written that deposit is returned if no title shows.
Documentation is piece of mind and protection.
If you get the bike and no title your gonna have headaches man !!
Good luck.......
