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.
VIN inspection link - www.colorado.g...
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.
Thanks for watching the S09 Engineering channel.

Just bought my first non-title bike in colorado. thanks for breaking the process down. I hope mine goes as smoothly as yours did.

@manwithnoname8238 3 месяца назад

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

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.

@jeffklynch Год назад

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!

@S09Engineering Год назад

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.

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?

@S09Engineering 2 года назад

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.

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.

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.

@S09Engineering Год назад

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.

@kevinkleinhenz6511 Год назад

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.

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.

@S09Engineering 3 года назад

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.
