A person that would want to look up a car's VIN number would want to search a government website like the NICB (National Insurance Crime Bureau). A person could also search through a private company like CarFax.
The VIN could be on you license or registration. It could also be on the insurance card. If you find it on one of those then go to this website http://www.cyclevin.com/ It costs $23 but at least you would find your motorcycle.
if you still have the VIN number you could go to your states dmv website and look it up. it will tell you there
One can find a VIN decoder online on websites such as Carfax, Motoverse, and Autocheck. Freely, someone can go to DecodeThis to get a free VIN decoder.

You will have to go to the person who sold it and get a bill of sale with the VIN on it. Without the VIN the bill of sale is worthless, it could apply to any cycle.
You can do a quick vin search from Google and check companies doing it OR you could go to your local car dealership and ask where a quick vin search is being held.
The DMV would have who owns that car by the VIN number. You can look up past owners at the DMV by the VIN number. You would have to go to the DMV to find that information out though.
If you are looking for the engine code in the VIN number, it is usually the 5th or the 8th number. Go to your local auto parts store and have them look up your engine, tell them you need to know your VIN code. They will be able to give you options like "It's either A, C, or L" and then look at the VIN number of your car, find the VIN code, and that is what it will always be.
Say: do you look in the mirror everyday and tell yourslef you look good? we could go both ways with this :)
