"In the age of information, ignorance is a choice
I walked in to my local BMV with the PROPER paperwork all filled out in its entirety right at the crack of local government time of 8:32am :
. Paid $15.00 (+tax on $25.00 @ $1.75) and was in and out of there at exactly 8:47am... All you need is a police affidavit and a bill of sale form from the same state you live. In this case I bought the bike from Michigan but had the Indiana bill of sale form to be filled out and SHAZAAM!!!!! like magic I got a title 8) ... Most states will probably do it that way but you can't go around asking people at the bmv or law enforcement because 99% of them don't know what the hell they are doing. Even people in this area that buy and sell bikes all the time don't even know the proper way to do it... I learned on my own by trial and error. I have sold bikes to several states and also now to FRANCE!!! WITHOUT a title and got it across the pond to someone else with NO paperwork!!! 
Don't get discouraged but then again don't tell the wrong people, you and the bikes whole life story 
. THEN they will deny you getting a title... I can almost guarantee there are ways to do this in every state. Even in Indiana it isn't easy even to find the bill of sale but I keep one for the number to pull up on the Indiana government bmv website (form#44237 in Indiana). After you buy a bike, have the proper bill of sale filled out by you and the seller. You call law enforcement non-emergency phone number and tell them you need a vin check done, it costs $5.00 cash and they fill it out on site by checking the frame vin with the bill of sale vin. You take those two to the bmv and you get your title... This WAS a pain in the a$$ to figure out and I went through the process over 25 times now but once you find out how to do it in your state you should post the procedure on here to share so we all know. Maybe an admin can create a section or thread for titling bikes?. I've included pics here of parts of the form, trying to exclude most of my personal information.
