Ok, I'll spare the story for now, but got a question: If I were to buy a 1974 dual sport that has no title, but has a bill of sale, what would I need to do to make it legal for me to plate etc?
Is it difficult, costly?

I usually would steer clear of the BOS/no title situation...but on this, I worry that I wont find another one. I mean, Ive found one for sale in the past three or four years. Ive been looking.
But maybe youre all right, that I should avoid unless current owner has a title in hand.
I have already requested pictures of serial number/VIN (as well as other pictures), and he says he'll deliver those soon (maybe tonight after he gets home)
Maybe after obtaining that I could contact the DMV and they would provide me with last known owner/titler? Or would they be able to tell me if it were stolen or not?
This was the DMV Inspector's Office in Winston Salem - they're in charge of approving vehicles for the road etcAs much as the folks at the DMV are SUPPOSED to know. They do not. And nor will they ever. You’d get more credible information from google. Which isn’t saying very much.
When you say the DMV, you mean the actual DMV? Or the place you get your tags and actual title work done?
That doesn't stop any of the rest of us!!!However, I really don’t know what I am talking about.
Burt's right. Call back every day get a different person..get a different answer...As much as the folks at the DMV are SUPPOSED to know. They do not. And nor will they ever. You’d get more credible information from google. Which isn’t saying very much.

View attachment 115899 What kind of bike is it? Never mind is this it? Ask him why it was made in three different years? Slow assembly line? I like the bike and it looks to be in decent shape. Another option is to look for a frame that has a title at a junk yard and use that.
YESWouldn’t that be illegal?
@hp468 nailed it
I did a lot of digging on this and VT will issue a registration for out of state people (NON-residents of VT).
NC, and I called Raleigh on this one, will then issue registration WITH TITLE when you turn that in.
Well, I hope...
I'll update you in a month or so...

Probably, but it seems to me that the “Vermont process” is a bit shady as well.
