Best option is probably a site like Ebay to ensure it gets seen by the maximum number of retro collectors.
A detailed answer would depend upon what state you're living in/want to title the bike in. You can get some basic information, to start, here: http:/search.dmv.org/dmv/motorcycle-title
IS THERE A CLEAR TITLE? Who has the title?
no
Someone sold you a bike with the wrong title. Here's the most likely reason why, many times when bikes are wrecked they may still be rideable, but the insurance company has totalled the bike and turned the existing title on bike to either junk or salvaged status. If it has a salvage title the bike can be licensed and ridden in many states, but the value of the bike is greatly diminished. If the bike has been given a "junk" title, then no matter how well the bike rides and looks, it can only be used as parts and in most states will NEVER be titled, so here is the catch...People will sell a frame, or just the title to a different bike with a good title, one that has not been deemed "salvage" or "junk" and use this "incorrect" title to actually license the vehicle for use. They may buy a complete "titled" frame (since the title is associated with the frame ID numbers) and put all the parts from the old bike on the "titled" bike and they are good to go. The problem in your case is that they sold you a bike that is actually a 750 with a "junk" or "salvaged" title, but gave you a good "600" title to make you think you have a clear title. At least, this is what it sounds like to me.
DMV
No.
As long as the bike is not used on highways, a title is not needed. If used on public highways, it must be licensed and titled.
Depends on how much they owe on the bike and if the price of the bike includes pay off to their bank and you get the title. If there is a lean holder on the bike and after you buy it you don't get a title then no I would not buy the bike.
yes
yes.
