Answer 3

Unfortunately, there is no equivalent to carfax.com for motorcycles. What leads you to think it was ever registered in NC?

DMV listings are not deleted for "inactivity>" Usually it takes a notice that a vehicle has been destroyed or junked.

Check with the manufacturer to see 1) if the VIN is real and 2) if they at least have warranty-work history for the bike.

You know you were sold a stolen bike.

Answer 4

The DMV should be helping you resolve this .The bike has to be inspected by by a law enforcement officer (to be sure the numbers match on the bike engine and frame numbers )this also has to be done to be sure it is not stolen;Seeing as you have no title . It may be determined the bike was abandoned ,you can post a lean on it for salvage title and apply for a title for yourself depending on the state DMV for where you live .
An inspection & vin number trace must be done regardless to prove out if stolen.Or if it is road worthy to be plated since being off the road for so long. See if your DMV or your STATE has an on line resource center to also help.you may be able to download information you need of importance this way TO HELP YOU FASTER (24HR INFORMATION AND SERVICES SITE )

Answer 5

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.

Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net that has been around since 1995.
