Ok everyone...I need a Title, for a 2003 CBR600RR. I DONT care if it was salvaged...or whatever. I just need the PAPER Title. Doesnt matter what state. Perfect chance for you guys that parted out or crashed your CBR and have the title layin around. Sell it to me! Cash paid!

so, is this stolen? or is there another reason why someone would want this?
anybody have their cbr stolen in the philly area lately?
just thought i should post this up...

Maybe he needs to get the bike inspected to pass inspection and needs a title? (I'm being nice and thinking he is honest).

Of course, there is the aggravating little details of that title not matching the VIN on the bike.

I'd say he's definitely going to do something illegal, if he hasn't already.

My money is that it is a stolen bike.

edit: If you are nearby you might want to direct this to the attention of the LEOs. If it really is a stolen bike, it would be nice to see it recovered for whomever it was stolen from.

na it;s not stolen

100% stolen Why else would you need to Buy A Title? I hope this asshole gets busted. Rightful owner could file for a new one.

Filing for a new title takes a hell of a lot longer and it's a huge hassle. I wanted to buy a title for my RE5 when I got it because it would've been much easier than getting a new one. I ended up not finding one and applying anyway. But this guy sounds entirely too desperate for a new title to be legit. I vote stolen bike.

VIN wont match...it stolen.

Isn't this only slightly less dishonest?

I'd bet $$ on stolen, but what an idiot. In any case, not legal.

Much easier until you're vin doesn't match the title and you go to jail eh?

Getting a new title costs 20 bucks at the DMV and waiting about 1 week...
whats the big deal?

 

[damonmlime2000]

Even with title that matches the descripion of the bike it's not gonna mean shit if the vins don't match. Even if he was to alter the title to change the numbers it's still in the computer what the number originally was.

 

[rusaccord]

New title requires a bond, and that's $100 minimum, depending on your bond company.

 

[OFFICER737]

With the new title he can restamp the frame and make the bike "look" legit. I say the bike is stolen.

I can assure you.............sometimes there is a reason to need a title

I worked on a busted up 900RR with a MEXICAN title. Honda wouldnt sell me a frame for that bike because they "didnt know if the frames were different" from Mexico to the US ones.

I had to buy a title (salvaged) and use it to buy a new frame.

I proceeded to stamp the mexican numbers in it and sent the kid packing.

Sure you did....what is your address again? :neener

When the dealership sent my car title in the mail my mom through it out. I went to the DMV and got a new title for $20 and I didnt have to wait a week, they gave it to me right there. If this guy wrecked his bike and damaged the frame, then bought a new unstamped frame, he would still have a salvage title. He either stole it or is hiding it from being repoed or something.

why? Your bike was already stripped and put on ebay.............hate to see your face when you get home!

You got a duplicate title. That works when the DMV already had a title issued in your name for your bike. If you buy a bike without a title, you can't get a duplicate title, you have to apply for a new one.

Yeah thats my point. How can it be legit without someone being able to get a title. No one would sell a bike with no title if they could go to the DMV for 2 minutes and spend $20 and then sell it for a lot more.

now he's trying to sell his stolen(?) bike

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/307366443.html

OK everyone...here for sale is my 2003 Honda CBR600RR. In near showroom condition, has 4,900 miles on it. Completley stock...NEVER raced or beaten on. Famous Honda Black/Red scheme. Tires are like new! Runs and drives 110% with NO problems. I had purchased this bike from a family man, and he had LOST THE TITLE. This bike would be perfect for a track/stunt bike. I havnt tried to get a title for it. Needs a fender eliminator kit, have the stock liscense plate holder,but with one turn-signal. I bumped off the front right turn signal pushing into my garage and slightly scratched the right side fering(barley noticable) blends in with the paint scheme. Get this HOT bike before the weather breaks. Poss. trades


so, does anybody have any connections in pa, i.e state troopers or something... or can i report this , or what? i'm not trying to be some kind of vigilante law-man, but this just seems fishy to me. anybody have this bike stolen from them recently?
