I've seen a few wrecks and you'd be surprised how little it takes to shove that wheel into the engine. The neck is more than likely not bent but dont take my word, i'm no expert. Just look for fresh paint on the neck just in case.
A riding buddy of mine made an illegial pass and hit the car he was passing when she made a right hand turn(No signal) and he hit her in the passenger door. Glancing blow not a t-bone, totaled a 2012 RG ultra. He was doing 20mph tops. Wheel is against the crash bar.

Well read back a couple of posts. There is some issues with the owners dealers license. Already been thru this with the bank when I bought a Z06 Corvette this past summer. The guy never transferred it into his name and the bank said no go. He had to go transfer it into his name first.
With that being said the guy said he would do that for me on the bike but not for $10k. Being as he would have to pay sales tax on it again.

I pushed to get my 09. I had an 07 last year.
The difference is not in any 1 area, it's the entire thing.
1..The frame is better, the wiggle when pushed in corners is much less. The bike plain and simple feels more stable.
2..the fatter rear tires looks much better. As does the whole tail section. The older models look small.
3..the Brembo brakes are a night and day difference.
4..ABS is just plain smart.
5..6 gallon tank is a good thing.
6..08's and earlier are worth less and always will be now that the new ones are out.
7..06's are even worse. 88" 5 speed and half are carb'd.
Some people will nay say till the cows come home, most of them would rather drive a 86 chevy pick up rather than a new diesel. Technology can be hard to accept.
IMO, prices even, you'd take the 09-up all day long.

Buy a new bike....no title issues at all. Everything is new...no concerns over what possibly has happened to the bike.
Before you even leave the dealer, have them install the paintned inner fairing and chrome front end kit.
