$100 is it worth it?

It must be a county thing in Indiana. I have transferred a dozen or so vehicles in the last 5 years, and have had zero issues. Titles still in previous owners name and not the guy I bought it from. As long as the date and buyer info are clear, I get them transferred. no questions asked. I print my own BOS, and sign and forge away. And they ALWAYS ask me for a BOS. No notarizing, just a signed Indiana Bill Of Sale, that I print out from the BMV site.
I still haven't transferred the title to the '82 GS 650 L in my garage. My son will be doing that next spring, I hope...

If someone offered me that 400 for $100 it would be at home with me too.

I once bought a motorcycle that had a lien holder on the title. Did not notice it at the time of sale, I only saw it when I went to transfer the title to me. Luckily the dealer on the title was still in business and was able to verify the bike was paid and cleared and stamped it so I could continue. The manager I dealt with had been working at the same shop for well over 30 years. Its too bad they are 1 hour away or I would throw more business their way.

Titles are easy here in Michigan, if it takes more than 30 days to get it transferred you pay an extra $15 for the transfer. With no bill of sale required you can always just fake a signature. That said, even if that $100 bike is toast you should easily be able to part it out for more! A clean gas tank and side covers is worth way more than that alone.
