So I got pulled over last week for my license plate being too low, by the California Highway Patrol. They pulled me over and had 3 officer's come in and look at my bike. Had me on the curb everything, searched me, searched the bike. They told me the bike was probably stolen, and they think my VIN # is tampered with. When I purchased the bike, I checked the VIN and the Seller's CA.ID. The name on the title and the VIN # Matched. Didn't see anything fishy to me. I got the bike insured and everything in my name. The registration is paid until September of 2013. So I'm legit as you can get. However, on Tuesday, I have to take my bike to the CHP offices in Redwood City, CA. They told me I have to leave my bike there for a few days while they perform "tests" on it. Well, they really think It's stolen. I don't. What would you guys do? What do you guys think? If it was stolen why the hell wouldn't they just tow it right then and there? Why would they let me ride it home, and around still (I told them this is my ONLY mode of transportation) Also. If the bike was stolen how would I possibly be able to insure a "stolen" VIN #? Any help would be appreciated. Personally I think this is a case of " Young Guy On A Sports Bike Being Harassed"... Any thoughts opinions anything? I'm scared shitless. If they take it, they take a piece of my soul, my transportation and I'm out $4K....Damn man, I hope NONE of you EVER EVER EVER have to go through this heart wrenching ordeal. Thanks guys.
so, my family ended up causing me to sell the Pink R6... They want me to get a car, and they said they would leave me alone about my next bike purchase (brand and displacement) So, I'm bike-less again, but somewhat by my own choice, and it doesn't hurt as much as being forced or having it taken from me. But I have tax returns and bonus coming up in april. So I'm going to get a new bike then. As of right now though, I have a 2003 Honda Civic LX Manual. I'm a try to get that bitch on two wheels for you all!
I'll be back on a bike in April DEF! I just dunno what to get now that I have more $$ and newer options. I was thinking 2005 R1 or 2005 CBR1000RR
??? opinions???

at least you have a cage for this storm I hear is gonna hit. lol. so even if I were home right now, I def wouldn't be riding. save your loot man, get that bike, and as soon as spring hits we'll ride again.
They are scared I don't have enough experience to ride successfully in the rain ( I can and I love riding in the rain its hilarious!)
So they asked me too get a car for the winter, they begged me. Grandma was crying aunt uncle father. everyone. I said "Fugit" I'm buying a liter bike in April then. I'm a fat ass I bog the 600 down lol. I don't give about what they say, I'm not gonna die on a liter bike. Just be cautious calm and respective you'll be ok!
man, that sucks. how bad are the winters in california, can't be that bad surely lol.
at least you're intending to get back in two wheels though. when I talk about getting a 1000 in front of my mother, she gets all paranoid & worried because "its too fast" lol, she has no idea about bikes
lol... My family cowers like a dark cloud entered the room when they hear "R1" or "1000RR" or "Liter Bike"...Yeah its throttle control and responsibility. The right hand and left brain! haha I wanna liter bike hella bad, I just won't be stupid on it, got my kicks on the RR now I just want a transportation that will respond quicker with power to my weight haha. I accelerated sluggishly on the R6 and 600RR
Im keeping my 600 but i will be picking up a 1liter this spring. Iv already been offered a friends s1000rr carbon fiber edition that im taking. But if i were to buy a cbr 1k i would go 06 and up. Major upgrade from the 05 model.

well I've heard only good things about the extra power/torque & nice mid-range so it should be fun.
I'm sure you'll be fine, if you have self control & value life then you can ride anything safely, it's not the bikes fault when people ride like idiots, its the squishy bit that straddles it & twists that throttle while screaming "look at me, look how fast I can go"
Well well the Pink Panther has left the Tribal's driveway at least you replaced the Panther with the right make of ride Honda so at least you are back in the correct zone
1. Bike was reported stolen, sent it in, never received his exhaust back that he bought.
2. CHP or TTF "lost" bike and never got any more info on it.
3. Bought the R6.
4. Sold it as explained in this thread.
There was unfortunately never a definitive answer though as to what happened to the parts he had purchased on the stolen bike, i.e. did he get his exhaust back and whatnot.
That's why i refuse to buy used bikes especially super sports.
EDIT ahh this is a bumped thread i replied to???
