Guest lsc86 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Posted this in another VF forum a while ago, figure I'd pimp it here too: After 25+ years of street riding and too many bikes to remember, the only one I truly regret selling was my first bike- 1986 VF500 Interceptor, that I bought brand new back in the day... Anyway, I know it's a real long shot, but somehow I'd like to find that exact bike again and add it back into the stable. I've got the VIN# still [she was a very early build '86], as I've kept the original owners manual all these years. She was last seen around 1990 in NE IL, bone stock wearing a full Vance & Hines exhaust system and solid black windshield..... PM me and I can verify the last few digits of the VIN if you've got a possible match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Here in Ontario, when you want to buy a used car or bike - you go to the MOT and buy a "used vehicle package" and to do this you provide the VIN of the vehicle in question. You are then presented with the history of that vehicle - owners names and I think addresses. Maybe you could initiate something similar at your local licence bureau?

Guest Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Carfax, or similar could probably offer a VIN lookup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer swfarrar Posted August 29, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted August 29, 2012 Carfax doesn't have motorcycle records, maybe the DMV in Illinois? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 30, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted August 30, 2012 or ask the Illinois police..................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer swfarrar Posted September 11, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 11, 2012 In looking at a local bike a friend was interested in buying I discovered that there's something called Cyclechex available on the NADA site that purports to run the same kind of ownership report that Carfax does for cars. I don't have any experience with it but it looks like what you're looking for, assuming you have a record of the VIN. http://www.cyclechex.com/lp/nadaguides/index.html?aid=4d3705ba6a61f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
