It varies from state to state.
This is called theft by receiving. The penalties for this felony crime are the same as if you stole the bike yourself. You are responsible for making sure you are not purchasing stolen items, therefore the theft by receiving charges.
Receiving stolen goods refers to the crime of knowingly acquiring or possessing items that have been unlawfully obtained through theft. It is considered a criminal offense, as it involves complicity in the theft by benefiting from stolen property. The severity of the charge can vary based on factors such as the value of the goods and the recipient's knowledge of their stolen status. Legal consequences can include fines and imprisonment.

Commonly knowns as "a fence. They could be charged with "Receiving Stolen Property" and/or "Accessory After the Fact."
Yes, it is POSSIBLE, and you might be charged unless you can convince the investigating authorities that you truly did not know it and/or why you did not ask about it. If you are charged with Receiving Stolen Property the prosecution will have to prove that you knowingly accepted (received) the stolen goods.
Receiving stolen property is considered a crime because it encourages theft by providing a market for stolen goods. It also undermines the integrity of the legal system by allowing individuals to profit from illegal activities.
