What happens if you buy a stolen motorcycle from a dealer?

You get charged with possession of a stolen vehicle I believe. If you knew it was stolen when you bought it then you are handling stolen goods (or a similarly fragrant nosegay of legalspeak, depending where you live) and the police will be keeping a close eye on you and they will be very interested in you. If you did not know it was stolen, then the motorcycle will be confiscated and searched so they can try and find out who had stolen it and where it came from. How you then get your money back, if at all, depends again on where you live.

How do you find out if the Motorcycle you are buying is stolen?

If the Motorcycle is local you could try the local police, but chances are that stolen motorcycles are shipped interstate. You need to get the VIN from the motorcycle frame and get a report on this which will tell you what information is stored against this motorcycle. Look for other clues from the seller, are they too keen to sell, is the price too cheap?
