I have noticed that you can only post a motorcycle on ebay if you mark the title as clear. But many of the people that I contact say they do not have the title to the bike there selling,they only mark it that way to complete the post.Buyers should be aware that just because it says clear title in the desciption banner that there may not be a title , and in many states like mine (Texas) no title means that you can never register the bike or ride legally on the street.Make sure you contact the seller before bidding on a motorcycle or you may get stuck with a bike you can't use.

You may be misunderstanding what people mean by this.  A clear title is one that's in your posession.  A title that's not clear has a lien on it and is most likely in the posession of the lender.

  No title at all is a whole other story.  One of the few things that the vehicle protection plan covers and it doen't cover much, is title issues.  It's a good idea to see a copy of the front and back of a title before yopu buy.  In the case of a lender holding it that can be almost impossible.

I just can't imagine that their are to many sellers out thier trying to sell a road bike with no title.

In either case the sellers are breaking ebay's rules and should be treated with extreme caution.


All know the way, but few follow it.
