I'm looking to buy a motorcycle I found, its a 1982 Honda CX500. It doesn't have a title, and currently isn't running. From what I understand, the carbs just need cleaned, as the bike does crank and has compression.
The current owner claims to have proof of purchase that can hopefully be used to get a replacement title. I am wondering though, will they still give him a clean title since the bike isn't currently running? And if not, what will it take for me to convert whatever title they give him into a clean title after I do my engine work? We're both located in Delaware.
Also, to anyone who is going to say its not worth it buying a bike without a title, the asking price is just too good to pass up.
