Lessons in buying used anything. No title, don't buy! Has always worked for me.
Live and learn!
me too i only buy vehicles with clean clear titles for this reason
Paper title only as well, I don't deal with that electronic crap.
Cheap lesson Robbie. Glad it was only 200 dollars! Thanks for sharing, I am sure it will help some fellow bikers out. All the best.
I'm glad it was only 200 too. There may be a follow up video to this one, not 100% sure yet though, waiting for the rest of the story to unfold...
Keep it up Rob, and thanks for sharing. At least the loss wasn't that much.
Live and learn, right?
That's right, I've had a similar situation too and we always get some valuable experiences in these lessons
When losing money and I learn my mistake, I consider it a "paid course" 😂
You called the cops, they actually answered and send you someone to check your VIN an hour later? That's the most impresive part for me lol.
In my country that would be at least 3 o 4 weeks works of visiting public offices and getting no solution at all, and of course at least 2 o 3 bribes to the cops to not go into jail for having an stole vehicle with you :P
Your country sounds crazy corrupt brother. Sorry to hear this
What country are you from?
that could be any country in Latin America jajaja
Sounds like South Africa
haha Señor Quetzal got it right! This is the latam way, I'm from Argentina! But I think this is kind of the standard in several countries around here.
That sucks, what a way to start off a new year. Well, at least this will be a learning experience on what to do if this kind of thing happens.
It’s always tempting to buy a cheap bike without a title. Thanks for the lesson
The cops finding Ellen and you "double buying" it from her for $250 more, was a blessing in disguise, compared to how it could have gone. 👍😁 You did very well in the long run.
Good job. Respect for that...
That sucks! But definitely post a follow-up video of the outcome.
Planning on it! Waiting for the rest of the story to unfold....
You are the best. I hope to be in your country. I have a bike that I want in your garage
great advice. maybe ur situation will help Simeone else maybe not rush into a satiation that can suk. sorry to hear that happened to u. thanks for posting this. getting burned for any amount is lame .
great video dude you maybe took a loss but hey its great you warned people respect
That happened to Me on CBR 600 F3 I got pulled for speeding and the bike came back stolen! I got arrested for handling stolen goods, the charges got dropped after a good bit of paper trail I had to produce; I always do a check before I buy now...
This has nothing to do with your story, but once while filling up at a station, a dude on a CBR pulled up next to me to fill up. I complimented him on the bike, and he got very defensive/weird and jumped on and rode off without getting gas. After he left my gut told me it was stolen and he was not looking for attention or questions.
@@dcamnc1 The thieving little Rats sure like the CBR's
cant wait to see it on copart
Holiy sh... you got same day assistance. I am trying to get a VIN inspection in Washington State and you have to go online and try and get a reservation. Mind you, you can only schedule on Tuesdays. and and and... they always say no availability... sigh.
yep! I have been trying for almost 4 months. Every time it says no appointments available.
Tough luck😢
Gotcha thanks
NO TITLE. That's always a red flag and I'd rather miss a great deal than risking buying a stolen vehicle. Good thing you managed to dodge a bullet on this one and have a cool story to tell after meeting its owner. 😁
no papers, no sale
I should be happy to get rid off that junk 💩💩
Let us know how this finally shakes out. I'm interested now!
More to come as the story unfolds!
What can you recommend as top motorcycle tools for someone just getting into motorcycles and wanting to rebuild?? I video on your tools would be cool
I was actually thinking of doing a video like this! Keep an eye out!
Sorry man
NICB screwed me over with a stolen bike before too, when i was picking it up their site said it was clean. The night before i planned to apply for the title I decided to check one more site and it turned out to be stolen.
😮 sorry to hear that! What was the other site you used?
This is a good reminder b/c in early 2022, the only deals on FB & CL that seem reasonable say, "No title but good VIN." I've been thinking it might be ok to spend $2K on a used 600 sportbike in that situation. I don't want to support thieves, but I was hoping maybe I could benefit from some people who did not follow the correct procedure. No free lunch, I guess.
It's easy to see how the free online databases might get purged of old records, but the state's more thorough VIN check would find a problem.
That calendar on the boxes. LOL
It's always December 2020 around here 😂 hahaha
@@RKMotorsports Every day you wake up with a stole bike ala groundhog day...
That sucks, but like you said, you were only out a couple.
Live and learn, but it could have been much worse financially.
This was a very inyeresting video. What will happen if the police don't find the original owner? Will you get the bike then?? Big thanks for this video!!
They tracked down the original owner already, there may be a part 2 follow up to this video
Ironically the system the police use to check at the salvage inspection is an enhanced NICB. NICB has a mirror image of the police system but it's never purged. It doesn't have to involve an insurance claim to be in the NICB system. My area of expertise if you have any questions.
Atleast you rode it like you stole it hahaha.
😂😂😂
DANG! Them Turn signals Lens could have recouped your $$$ @_@ Honest²
Had a neighbor that had that happen with an atv it was a mess.
You are so lucky Rob. Imagine if that happens with one of the sport bike projects,
when you already rebuilt it, and put the money in it and then shit hits the fan.
This way You only lost 200 bucks which is still not ok, but manageable.
I guess U learned your lesson..
For the next time this is very simple ... no title/documentation no purchase.
I bought a 2001 KLR650 with 940 original miles last May from the original owner. He sent me the Certificate of Origin from Kawasaki, apparently it had never been registered OR titled so I couldn't do anything with it. The original owner had to jump through hoops to get a title. 3 months went by before I was able to get one. From now on I will personally verify the title and VIN!
Got burned on an “R” titled or Reconstructed Gixxer one time and said To HELL with ANY Shady deals! Especially NO title bikes.
What about the seller? You have been lucky!
I contacted the seller and filled him in on everything, he was just as surprised as me to find out it was stolen. Offered to refund my money if I can't get the bike back
Last year baught a '85 cb450sc. Lost papers but owner never actually confirmed the losing with police, was also a big pile of shait bcs the seller got a police friend to fix the losing on his name
The Legend of BillieJean
holy shit
This one was a big eye opener for me
The way you guys do things over there confuse me tbh, is a "title" different or the same as a pink slip? We have a log book (V5) for each vehicle to show the current and previous owner, and the VIN, number plate and other info on the vehicle itself, it's rare to have vehicles for sale without them, but it does happen. We have a thing/company called an HPI check, where for a fairly small fee you can find the history of the vehicle and if it's been in accidents or been stolen.
I really don't think the government here in the states has their stuff together lol
Unfortunately all the bikes I've bought recently are 50 years old and the only way to find out if it's stolen is to ask the police to run it for you.
Lesson to buy or sale second hand vehicle: not buying without title. And not accept cheques, if doing banking transfer wait until the money come through. Cash always the best option 😌 👌
Should have stripped it and hand over the frame 🤷♂️
Damn right. and buy a registered frame and re build it!
That's why I don't buy any vehicle without a title, no matter how good of a deal it maybe.
Which van are you running? Looking for a moto van ;-)
2008 Chevy Express, I love it
@@RKMotorsports Dang it, we don't get them in Australia!
The search continues, lol
Keep up the great work with the channel, it's a good motivator to put more work into my own projects.
Simple rule of thumb, no title, no deal. Life's too short, and money doesn't grow on trees, so don't play this game without the seller providing all needed paperwork.
No title, no sale
Hey man, are you still changing peoples gauge cluster lights? I have a 2006 ZX6r and might want you to change the lighting for me, let me know the email and how much it would cost. I think you said $150 in the video comments, not 100% sure though. Thanks - Colby
Hey Colby, email is rkmotorsports716@gmail.com and the cost is 150. Feel free to send me an email!
Perfect, thanks
With all the bikes that you have bought and the Money youve spent on an avarage. Thats just got to be the bike that you want that shit to happenings to
Couldn't have said it better, you can afford to take more gambles on cheaper bikes just in case things don't work out
We just paid £28,000 for a porsche, oh no haha
Would love to listen to the phone call between the police and the owner who got it stolen off his/her lawn in 2009... HAHAHAHA
Same here! I might be able to get in touch with the owner so a part 2 might be coming
When he said bike I thought he meant bike, not scooter😒
It’s called when you go to buy the bike you get the cops to meet you there and then they check it there before you buy it so you don’t buy a stolen bike and the other guy loses the bike not u
That's the thing though, even after the cops ran the vin it still came back as clean... only came up as stolen through the DMV system when I went to register it. If they ran it when I was purchasing it I would probably be in the same situation...
in what universe do the police attend a used vehicle transaction ?
Police: We're going to impound the scooter...can you bring it over?
That's pretty much what they did lol, they waited until I brought it inside the inspection building to let me know they were impounding it 🤦♂️
@@RKMotorsports That's really classy :)))
Why "be cautious"? just do not under any circumstance buy a bike or any vehicle without a title, there's nothing you can do to verify theft, the databases are all going to be clean and that doesn't do you any good. Avoid at all costs either you will get it taken away by police or at some point the owner might show up a few months or years down the line trying to take your bonded title away from you etc..
Do you sell motorcycle?
it's too bad you didn't buy the scooter as a bare frame with no body work or engine ;-)
I guess you could go back to the guy u bought it from ?? And be like wtf...man..lol
Already reached out to the guy I bought it from. He offered me a refund if I'm unable to get it back

Third
Why don’t you go back to the person who sale you that scooter and ask for you money back?
I have already called them and let them know the investigator handling the case will probably be reaching out. He offered to give me my money back if I don't end up recovering the bike.

That s a clickbait ffs, it s not a bike, it a stupid scooter !
Ride one and you'll fall in love ❤
The point of the video has nothing to do with the type of vehicle. It is about purchasing any type of motor vehicle without a title and what the consequences might prove to be.
