the frame
There is no VIN on a motorcycle this old. There is an engine number on the crankcase and a frame number on the front of the bike frame, on the steering neck.
The frame should of came with a title when you got the frame
You usually have to cut out the part of the motorcycle frame that connects to the engine, then weld that to the go kart frame.

In the US, it's standard for the VIN to be stamped on the frame near the neck.

The motorcycle isn't the handle bars, lights, seat tires and rims, but the frame, and if you can't get the title to that frame, then you can apply for lost title. Refer to your states DMV for a specific answer.
Usually you get it titled with the serial number off of the engine you plan to install in it Go to the DMV and classify your frame as a SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION motorcycle when you register it. Bikes and Hotrods alike can do this.
No. The neck is usually cut off when a replacement frame for that motorcycle has been supplied by the manufacturer. Usually due to frame damage sustained in an accident. The neck has the serial number stamped on it, and the manufacturer usually requires the old neck to be returned in order to ensure that there are not two motorcycles with the same serial number. So the old frame without a neck is trash, junk...and probably not straight. Unless, of course, you stole the frame. Then it is illegal. Never try to rebuild a motorcycle with a frame that has had it's neck removed...unless you have a frame table that would allow you to install a new neck precisely and straighten the other damage on the frame. It would be very dangerous to ride a motorcycle with a crooked frame or neck.
