Took less than 2 weeks to get mine. Was pretty impressed with the fast turn around.

Depends on your state's Motor Vehicle Dept.

They process the paperwork with the DMV here in CA, and then the DMV just sits on it.

I haven't done through HD, but I purchased my bike outright and it took 6 weeks to get the title.
Purchasing other vehicles I have the same experience.

In Minnesota you keep the title, not the bank. When it's paid off they send a letter that you attach to the title that clears the lien.

took less than two weeks for me. And I paid it off by using the "Pay Bill" feature on my bank's website. I figured since it wasn't a certified check it would take longer... Nope... got it pretty fast I thought.
