Need help with the title question!!!

[Nguyen.gixxer]

Hello all!! I'm buying the bike now and there is the gsxr 1000. I called the seller and he said that he bought the bike from his friend because his friend can't pays for it anymore. He bought the bike with no title and he bought the frame on eBay with the 2008 title to do the paper work for it. So now he said that the bike is 2012 but with the clear 2008 title. He has the vin# of the 2012 gsxr now on the title and he got it inspected and on the road now. The title said the bike has 4500 miles " from the 08 frame" and the bike only have 4000 miles now So basicly the bike is 2012 but the title is 2008. Is it even possible to do that?? Because if it's all legal and safe I would get that bike with great price. Should I go for it or should I stay away? Thanks

Sounds sketchy to me. If he bought the bike from his friend, then the title should have moved with it. If it didn't, it's because his friend couldn't pay off the bank, so I'd say they still own the bike.

run away.

Very dodgy!! Avoid.

Run for hills man. Not worth your time.

[Awesome]

You shouldn't buy it. What's the guys number, I'd like to talk to him.

although title errors do happen that way too sketchy. My 06 GSXR 1000 title says 99,999k miles on it for some odd reason. I assume somebody fucked it up.
But buying a bike with different VINs and different years. from someone you dont know... i dont think so

Same thing happened to my CBR 1k when I sold it. I screwed up when I sold it by checking off the wrong box on the title. When the buyer received the title it had the same mileage as yours. To fix that you will have to get in touch with a Notary of the state to swear that the mileage is correct. Send that document in along with your title and it will be cleared up.

I am not trying to fix it, LOL. I will never ever sell that bike so the title doesnt mean much to me

dont think you could fit an 08/09 frame on a 2011-13 GSXR

after rereading the original post, i think the guy bought an 08 frame just for the title and VIN so he could register it. probably swapped the stamped VIN plate from the 08 to the 12 frame and called it a day.

[Jim]

you cant swap the VIN stamp on a frame though.
unless he brought the new frame to a shop and have it stamped with the VIN from the 2012 bike.

ah true, forgot about that. still could stamp VIN# into a metal plate, rivet/attach to frame over old number, profit. your average LE roadside inspector probably doesn't know it should be stamped into the frame itself, nor be able to visually identify that it's a 12 and not an 08. when's the last time anyone checked your VIN during a routine traffic stop?

[Jim]

true. it's just something i've been looking into recently. i've been told that the national CCS event at Daytona checks VINs. So i've been researching on unstamped frames, etc.

which manufacturer for the power band?
