What is the process for buying a bike when the owner doesn't have a clear title?
Any hints or tips?

Thanks.
 
Probably need to give out more info, like why he doesn't have a clear title? Is it financed and he hasn't paid off the loan yet?

Yep. Financed and loan is still outstanding.

Thanks for the welcomes.
 
Hey mcb,

either search under my name or under the title: "How to buy a bike that is not paid off? "

I got lots of helpful advices from the BARFER's. It was only about a wk ago that the thread was circulating.
 
Go to the bank with the seller and pay the lender off, get the title signed off to you. Any $$ beyond the outstanding loan can just be paid to the seller after that.
