Verifying ownership of a used motorcycle confirms that the seller legally owns the bike. Ask to see the V5C logbook and check that the name and address on the document match the person selling the motorcycle and the location. Check the document for any alterations, signs of forgery or discrepancies. Separately, verify that the VIN on the V5C matches the VIN stamped on the motorcycle, usually located on the bike's frame or engine. And use Motorscan's VIN match service to help verify the authenticity of the VIN and that it aligns with the correct motorcycle. And don't forget, our comprehensive motorcycle history check will alert you to any theft reports!
