So I bought this non- running junk motorcycle 12 years ago at a yard sale no title on the spot
; the seller "promised to find the title" ("going through a divorce yada yada"). After hounding him for a while, he ignores me, he disappears. He's gone. Foolishly I put a bunch of custom work into this 1971 cb450 in anticipation of getting a proper title someday...
11 years ago I perused the issue and gave up.The bike is not stolen because the license plates showed him as the last owner. I do have a bill of sale from him and that is all. The VIN does not show up on the Missouri DMV data base anymore.
QUESTION:What is the easiest way of getting a title.... Through another state? (I live in MO.)
Or: how do I go about selling it/ trading it where the buyer won't come back asking for a title or their money back and I am at square one?
(I no longer have any interest or motivation in riding or pursuing messing with this motorcycle; but I know it would be a gem to someone else.)
Any real suggestions will be welcome.
