- Bonded title definition and how to get a title for your motorcycle in 6 steps.
I purchased a motorcycle at auction and didn't receive a title. The bonded title process was not difficult, just a little confusing and time-consuming. I was able to get a clean title without any issues.
This video is specifically covering how to get a bonded title in Colorado.

The surety bond was the largest expense in the bonded title process. My total cost to get my title was around $200. This will vary depending on the value of the vehicle.
You always want to be very careful if you are thinking about buying a motorcycle with no title. Even though I didn't have any problems, there is some risk involved.

Just bought my first non-title bike in colorado. thanks for breaking the process down. I hope mine goes as smoothly as yours did.
I'm in colorado and am trying to figure this out for my bike. Thanks so much!
Happy to help! Good luck 👍
Hey Ryan, your video was outstanding and very informative. Gonna use your info as much as I can.. I'm in Florida. Just bought a 2004 Yamaha V-Star for $350. It had been sitting in this guys garage for over 2 years. wasn't running. He told me it wasn't his, he assured me it wasn't stolen, and was willing to fill out a state of Fl. "Bill of Sale". I did a vin search, and in fact it wasn't stolen. Now, with your info, gonna fill out the florida form to obtain the owners information if possible.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Hey Carlos ,I’m in Florida and I was wondering if you process went well since I just purchased a Honda Rukus with no title at offer up I check and is never been title in the national records according to my local DMV
I have a 2002 SV650S I've been wanting to title. I'd considered the Vermont approach as I didn't realize a bond was affordable. I thought the state wanted to keep twice the value of the vehicle for a few years!
The bonded title seems like the more legitimate way to do it. A 2002 is plenty old enough to go the Vermont route as well.
Thanks for the explanation and information. I'm following your steps, and so far, so good. Just a correction - it's a 10-day temp tag, not 30.
Ride safe,
Fellow Coloradoan
Now I did buy a motorcycle for 400 so I'm thankful for you I got it off Facebook Jan 5th 2022 now he doesn't have a title so I'm again thankful
Good luck 👍
Thank you! trying to title my 1988 Honda NX250< sat on a farm since 2008. In Iowa
I'm happy you found it helpful!
Thank you for some great information! I'll get back to you on what I'm going to purchase, so far I know there is no title and the person that owned it has passed. He left the bike in his friends garage and now he wants to sell it.....we will see. Thanks again!
Good luck!
You’ve deterred me at around 5 minutes in 😂…. ✌️
Good video man, many of the motocycles I have are under 300cc,,,what makes more sense and what would be better to get a title, a bonded title or the Vermont method? What are the differences?
The Vermont method requires that the vehicle is more than 15 years old. They are both about the same amount of work. I am going through the Vermont method now.
hi thanks for the information , i will be using the information to get a abandoned truck or other equipment , thanks.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for posting! Ohio here, normally click off of an ad when I see "no title," "bill of sale," or similar. Even with the hassle and paperwork (and fees of $300ish?) Would you still say that it's worth it?
You're welcome! It is totally worth it if you get a good enough deal. You do need to factor in the extra time and money when shopping.
Dang that's extensive...I would think it'll be just get a bonded title and wait for 3 years to apply for a clean one.
Other states could be different, but in Colorado I received a "clean" title after going through this process. I had to get the bond and everything, but I can sell it tomorrow as a clean title motorcycle if I wanted.
Is that the colorado springs copart, knew it looked familiar.... big rider here in the 719!!!
Yeah, that's the Colorado Springs Copart. Thanks for commenting! Hopefully, the video was helpful.
Will this work with a Chinese quad that was originally sold new without a title.
Sorry, I have no idea.
@@S09Engineering
Thank you for your assistance, I live in Washington State. and they passed a law that allows people to ride/drive. quads, four wheelers, and side by sides, on public roads with limitations. I purchased it from a private seller that didn't get a title for it. I guess my next options would be to contact the Chinese manufacturer? and see if it would be possible to get a title from them. or strictly use it for off road use. thanks again.
You got a sub right here
Thanks!
What if the owner says he has a claim on it, was never paid for it, etc? Do you then have to turn it over?
I'm not sure how it works exactly. I'll post an update if I can find out.
Step one: Put your other bikes vin and license plate on it...
Step 2: dont ever stop for no red n blue lights.
What do I do for old truck no number on motor
The bonded title is only needed for newer vehicles. There might be a better way.
Good info
Glad it was helpful!
I’m trying to get a tittle for my 2002 Honda show
Any luck?
I recently got a motorcycle from a friend of mine who passed away how to I obtain a title for the bike I have his registration
Hello! I am sorry you lost your friend. If you have a relationship with the family, I believe it would be pretty easy for them to get the title. Then, they can sign it over to you like normal. Sorry, I'm not sure of the details, but the DMV should be able to help.
Vermont can give you a tag and registration google it
What happens if the person on the title doesn’t respond?
You just go on to the next step. They do not have to respond and really you don't want them to.
In Texas I got screwed because there were several names on the “open” title I got with auction vehicle. They absolutely would not give me a title without the people on title responding. Some were used car dealerships that were not longer in business. Maybe things have changed since then but you better check in your state or you can end up in a pickle.
Would the same bonded title procedure work for a camper or trailer as well?
I honestly do not know. I bet you could call your DVM to find out the best way to get a new title.
Hello sir. Thank you for the information. I have a situation. I live in New Jersey and I bought a motorcycle Royal Enfield 500cc. I bought it from a random guy in Facebook marketplace. He said he got that motorcycle from an estate sale and the owner of the motorcycle is dead. He didn't give title. I have a bill of sale but no title. How can I get title for the motorcycle. If there's a possibility to get a title then I'll do that or else I thinking to return the motorcycle. I'm waiting for your response.
Thank you.
Each state is different. Your DMV should be able to help answer this question as well. I believe a bonded title will work in this situation.
What would happen if they said they wanted it back? I bought an 05 r6 off marketplace went to dmv they told me last title was in Georgia. I live in Kentucky. Clean title. I have bill of sale that’s about it.
I really don't know. It is old enough to do the Vermont thing.
If your bike was stolen what happens when you Do a vin check from the state patrol?
The trooper told me it was reported stolen. I gave him the bill of sale from the insurance company. No big deal.
Hi Ryan does this work for jet ski's too?
@Kelly Beck I don't really know. Is a jet ski considered a motor vehicle? If it is, then maybe it will work.
What do you do if a bike was traded second hand from the original owner but not knowing if it was stolen would state police be able to size the vehicle and charge you for possession
I don't really know what is possible. This exact situation happened to me. The bike I was getting a title for was reported stolen, but I had the bill of sale from an auction house. Nothing happened.
Cool
A 1970 Ford F_100
Thanks Lonny
Im in the same boat. I just purchased an 03 Yamaha yzf 600. The seller bought it from someone who was from the army and he never recieved the title after he was deployed. He doesn’t answer phone calls and I don’t know if it’s his right contact info. Has a Texas tag on it and I am in Florida. Also did a vin check and has no history at all just a manufactured date. Not sure how to peruse with the virus closures. I scheduled an appointment.
Good luck. I'm sure you will be able to sort it out.
a person gave a 1985 honda rebel 250cmx since 1989 they did not register it I did not find information is not in the system what can I do and what do you recommend? Thanks 🙏
What steps have you done?
Is there any changes to this process if the motorcycle was purchased over state lines?
I don't know for sure. I may find out soon. I found something I like in SD.
Can I cross the border with this title
I assume you can, but I don't know anything about crossing the border.
Hi, i was wondering if i buy an r6 2006 model that has no title it was from saudi but it is now here in philippines what can i do to make legal here in philippines? God bless
Sorry @Daniel Masangkay I have no idea.
Hello again, this is my situation maybe you can help. I'm interested in this bike a mechanic has had since 2012,last time was registered was 2011. Did the repairs on the bike ,but the guy is nowhere to be found. What steps do I have to do to get the title. I would appreciate your advice. Thank you .....Larry
Hey Larry, sorry for the delayed response. I believe you can just follow the steps laid out in the video. It seems like a fairly low risk situation. What state are you in?
No problem.....this deal might not go through. I'm set on another bike he has that is his, title everything thing is good with this bike. Now the other one I wrote you about is a 1998 gs850g Suzuki, he just wants it gone you interested in it? The bike runs just been sitting in his shop since 2012,hes just looking to get back what he put into the repairs 300 to 400$. I live in shitville Illinois 5 miles from ohare. Thanks for getting back to me....if your interested I could send you pics just need a email address. Thanks again!
What happens if you don’t have a bill of sale? I actually have a supposed to be a bill of sale but only with the guys name and my name
I think you will need a proper bill of sale. Maybe you can sell it to a friend and they can sell it back to you? Just an idea.
@@S09Engineering yea that’s what I thought but it’s not possible
I was looking at buying a 1998 kawasaki valcan 500 from a person on fb and found out owner of bike is descreased and there is no papers for it , would it be hard to get a bonded title?
It would be much easier for the relative of the deceased owner to get a title. It is work they may not want to do, but you could offer them more money if they will help you out.
@@S09Engineering thank you i appreciate you taking time to help me 🤟
process the same if motorcycle is sold with bonded title already?
If the motorcycle already has a title, you would just transfer it into your name like usual. I do not think there would be any risk for you, because you are not buying the bond that was necessary to get the title in the first place. Hope that helps.
I bought mine from a private party in ft Collins. They said they would try to get the title owner to contact me but no word yet. I didn't get a bill of sale and they were not the title owner. Is that going to be a problem?
If possible you should try to get a bill of sale. If you can get the contact information for the title holder directly, that would be easier. You could ask them to get a duplicate title if it's lost. But if it's not possible, at a minimum try to get a bill of sale before you start the process.
@@S09Engineering thanks. That is what I'm trying to do but no luck so far it hasn't been a week yet. . I was told from dmv if I can get him to fill out a DDR2175 for me I can get the title with no problem. The title is presumed lost
@@stevesilverson5001 that is a great tip! Thanks for sharing. That is much better than trying to get them to go to the DVM.
Or is deceased the previous owner that is
Hey, will this work with a boat?
Someone asked about a jet ski as well. I am not sure if this will work or not.
what if the previous owner is dead? then what happens with the certified mail part?
Hi , my problem is a little bit different, someone sell me a bike yesterday with a fake ID, he give a good title but I realized it wasn't his name on the title too late 😢😢. Now he blocked me , what can I do?
Did he sign the title with the wrong name?
No he never signed we where supposed to meet on Monday for him to sign but he gave me the title
@@marcof4584 if he had a fake ID that sounds sketchy. You can try to get in contact with the person on the title.
Okay, ths
Thanks so much for this helpful video. I'm doing this process for a 1990 DR250 Suzuki. Will surety bond cost $100 even for this piece of sh*t?
There may be other places to get the bond that offer lower prices. If you use suretybondsdirect.com like I did $100 is the lowest cost. Thank you for the comment and I hope it works out for you.
So I bought a motorcycle it says it has a lien on it but I have the title and the credit union said it’s paid off
If you have the title, I'm not sure what the problem is. What says it has a lien on it?
The title says it has a lien on it but I have it in hand I can’t get a lien release cuz covid
The last owner said it’s paid off but didn’t give me a lien release form
I see. I'm more use to the banks keeping the title if it's not paid off. Hopefully, you can get it figured out soon.
@@S09Engineering I only paid $1100 for a 98 Suzuki marauder 805cc and the motor is 800 on eBay so didn’t do to bad but Wanna ride it then sell it next season and get another sport bike
I bought a ninja from a girlfriend of mine with only a bill of sale, have her
I hope this video was helpful and you are able to get a title without any issues.
Vermont registration?
I'm aware of it. Did you have a specific question?
@@S09Engineering why didn't you do that instead of the steps you showed us?
@@pepperjackshack2439 that is a good question. I feel like that method has some potential down sides. In my case, my bike had been reported stolen. I think that could have been an interesting visit to the DMV trying to get a Vermont title transferred.
Plus Vermont steps require the bike to be 15 years or older, or under 300cc. I'm looking into that step for my 73 cb450, this video helped me a lot for future purchases.
I am in texas
👍
I live in south Austin tx
Bought a car with a fake tittle. What to do?
Probably best to ask at the DMV before you do anything else. I'm not really sure.
Cool video but why did you seem so annoyed the whole video
That is a good question. Not really sure. It was a long video to get through.
Bought 79 yamaha xs 750 with no title, bill of sales and keys. Seller does not responds to calls anymore due the fact that I requested bill of sale.
Will this process be different - Illinois ?
Thanks for the video!! The most difficult part is to find a dealership for appraiser ;(
I don't know how Illinois works. I'm assuming you will need a bill of sale. I bet if you get creative enough you can figure out someway to get a bill of sale 😉. Good luck with the appraisal!
@@S09Engineering having bill of sale make the process a lot easier. I could do it through dmv of Vermont. Dang. So what now ;(
Hypothetically speaking, let's say you decided to sell the bike to a friend because you didn't want to go through the hassle of getting a title. Later, you change your mind and want to buy it back. Would your friend be willing to give you a bill of sale? I would only go the Vermont route if you know the history of the bike. But, that is just my opinion. I am all for doing whatever is necessary to keep classic bikes on the road.

What if the mvd cant find info for a previously registered owner?
That is a really good question. I'm not sure. Has that happened to you?
This stinks .. i bought a bike in NH .. dident get the title due to the NH DMV web site being confusing about what is needed.. I did get the previous reg .. bill of sale .. due to covid-19 all the DMV's are closed .. so, i had to call the concord head dmv .. they told me i need to apply for a bonded title .. Well, i have a bike i cant ride for the next 2 or 3 months .. it really stinks !
That does stink! Can you start the process over the phone or are they totally closed?
@@S09Engineering - they are closed .. they have drop boxes .. you can call ... but everything is dont through mail except the von verrifycation

I hope you found the video helpful!
Wtf I feel like just spending extra rack just to not jump through hoops but never rode a bike so if it's stolen f it lmao 🤣 jk but I know it will get laid down 😆
I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't bad. Maybe 6 hours of actual time running around for the VIN inspection and trips to the DMV. If you save $1000, that's about $165/hour!
