I did not find a way to check the VIN on your own, however, I did find a website DMV.org. I have not owned a motorcycle so I have not performed this search for a VIN personally. But this website seems to be very user friendly.
There are various web sites that can provide you with information about Motorcycle VIN records. Try one of the ones listed below:
