Then you have been conned. Don't buy the bike, alternately take it back and have the purchase reversed. If the dealer says no, you might want to call the police. Don't drive the bike, because if you would be caught this fault would be your responsibility.
I'ts not only possible, but in the case of non-street-legal bikes, it might even be the norm. Most people don't bother registering or converting the certificate of origin for a non-street bike, so a title is never generated. There was a C of O for it when new, but it is more than likely lost. For a street legal bike, there would have to have been a title applied for at the least if they got plates for it.
Every state would be different on this. Check with your local DOT.
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
According to my certificate of origin for my 2009 ZX-10R, it has 189.1 HP. Of course this is at the crank. The bike only weighs 459 LBS.
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.
IS THERE A CLEAR TITLE? Who has the title?
Im actually in the process of getting my X19S2 registered in NY. I was able to get Insurance without any problems, Took me 15 minutes. The Problem I had at the DMV was with the Certificate of Origin. They told me that it was a copy and not the Original. I called the company that sold me the bike and they told me they would send me the Original. Let see how that goes. You have to make sure that when dealing with your insurance company and the DMV that you don't use the words "Pocket Bike or Super Bike". Both will tell you that the Motorcycle is not listed in there systems. Tell them its a China (Imported) made "Motorcycle" you bought from a USA distributer, and give them all the correct information about the bike (like the CC's, Make, Model, year). It's all in the wording. You might need to go to different DMV's to try because most of the employees don't know how to process a Certificate of Origin. You can ask for the agent that deals with the Auto dealers, They know how to process the MCO. (Dont be rude or they wont bother getting you help) You will Need, (1) Insurance Card. (2) Original Certificate of Origin. (3) Invoice from company you bought the bike from. (4) A Tax form if you didnt pay taxes on it. (5) Form to Register & Title for the First time. (6) Depending on where you live (photo's of Vin & EPA Tags on bike to prove it's Street legal and meets all Emissions codes. (7) Last but not least, a Valid Motorcycle License. Hope this helps you.
no
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.
