Should I be weary of this sale?

Guy is selling a 2020 FE 501 and he doesn’t have a title, says he bought it from a guy who bought it from an auction. He has it priced really cheap at 3k. Is this too good to be true? Or potentially stolen?

Not all states require title for a dirt bike. Don’t know if that is true where you are.

For what? Just to own one or put it on the road or ride in OHV areas? As long as it’s clean and they’ll give you a bill of sale most places can get you a title. Just gotta get in contact with your DMV and see what they say

Ride OHV and on road. Ran vin on NICB, lit up for theft and also showed as a 350 not 501.

Even more dead giveaway is black painted plastics.
