I ran across a 2011 Ninja 250 that had a minor low side. I want to buy it and make it track only so I can race it in the local 250 series with friends.
The person left it at a shop after the low side and did not want to pay for the damage estimate and storage fees. The shop kept the bike since the owner would not pay but the shop does not have the title.
Don't I need the title to prove ownership even though it will be track only?
Can the owner holding the title take ownership from me at any time since he still holds the title?
The shop said they will give me a written receipt and the price is right but not sure on the no title part.
I am leaning towards telling the shop no title, no deal but maybe since it will be track only I am wrong.
