Word of warning with NICB. I just bought a 2011 from an owner who had the bike stolen then returned. Prior to going to get it, I did check on NICB and the bike showed clean. Got the the bike from the person on the title and from the address listed on the title. Went to the DMV...and they called the cops. Turned out the bike was still flagged as stolen. Luckily, the two officers that showed up were cool and we ended up getting a hold of the previous owner who again confirmed it was returned and gave them the police case #. The officers had to make some call to get the stolen flag fully removed. Long story short, not sure how long it takes for a title status to propagate to all of these databases but if possible, it may be worth checking with local pd.
