If it's got the same license plate as when that owner had it, you can contact the DMV or your local police department so they can run it and tell you the registered owner. It's public record, so it shouldn't be a problem.
You have to get it from the owner that last had the title in his name.
Or, you can take the vin number to your DMV or PD and have them run it that way.

If you are the current owner of the motorcycle, you can go the DMV for this information. The DMV keep records of who vehicles have been registered to.
That person should sign all documents "(Son), Executor, estate of (Deceased)". If you need a title they can't find, they need to go to DMV and apply for a duplicate.
Go to the local state DMV office and fill out the application for a duplicate title. The person will need proof of ownership and the VIN # of the motorcycle. Proof of ownership can be a bill of sale or a notarized statement from the previous owner transferring ownership to the present owner.
just buy a frame and flip the vin
LOOKING FOR TITLE OWNER NAME

Title for abandoned motorcycle in Virginia
i would do a search on the title, there are some online websites in which you pay and they will look up information. If that is not an option then you could see who the serial number was first registered to.
find the owner that has the title. if not available you would either need a bill of sale or lien sale. the owner must be contacted but if no response I believe it can be yours. double check with your dmv Call Geographic Services Inc at 214-727-0148. They have helped me many times and have done a great job.
