Has my little brother bought an iffy bike?

H all,

Just a quick question. My little bro has got his hands on a dirt bike of some description. It is a rieju engine from the looks of things, and both the frame number and engine numbers are intact. It looks to have been 'road legal' at some point due to indicators and stuff. No v5, but he has the key. No number plate.

Any ideas how I can check if it is nicked or not, without dropping him in the shit? It looks like a bit of a nail, but should be able to run again with minimal effort.

Any advice would be great Thumbs Up

Thanks guys,

Lee

Sounds like he has bought two of them.

Could just ring old bill and check the engine number or frame number and if its related to a theft. Can't see anyone willingly taking the lights and shit off AND not keeping the V5.

Screams stolen.

How much was it... and what would he sell it for.

Tell him to check it out with the police himself, if he does and It's stolen then he's a crime victim, if he doesn't contact the police and ends up getting caught with a stolen bike he's looking at being charged with handling stolen goods.
