And to further Easy's and my point it could still be stolen for all you know, the person that really owned it could have been stupid and left the title under the seat with his registration (you'd be surprised how many people have the title to their car in the glove compartment) and he just signed his and (this other persons name) to the title for show. You have to think about all the possibility's when someone won't give up the title to something when you buy it. Not only that, he could come get that bike from you right now without you being able to stop him. He has the proper proof of ownership (if it is legally his) and you don't.

I sort of ran into this when I got mine, the guy I bought it from tried to get a bigger tax break on his new bike by claiming that I paid more for mine than I did, of course when they saw the discrepancy between what I said I paid and what he said, they had a problem. Long story short they called me, I called him a Liar, and said I have the title with the amount on it, what does he have besides what he "claims" I paid. I won the argument because I had the proper proof of payment and ownership, so does the guy you bought the bike from.

And also like me and Easy said I would do a little more investigating into the problem with it before I wrote the bike off for dead. I don't know if I would put anymore actual money in it (as in parts) until the title problem was cleared up but you could at least pay someone to look into it for you.
