Hey dogs,

Just thought I'd share with you what I came across recently.

I am looking for a xr125 and found a 2012 for R8000, 1st of all that is under trade price and it said 'no papers'.

So with nothing to loose I enquired about the bike and papers and the oke said he bought the bike from a guy who also didn't have the papers and that it was never registered...

So I said I am interested and would like to confirm that the bike was not registered. He gave me the engine # and I called western cape licensing this morning to inquire.

"Sir this bike has been marked as stolen" ... moral of the story. Don't be an idiot.

Take 5min and call some local authority and confirm the details.

Western Cape:
Licensing: 0860103089.
New papers, deregistering and any related  info: 0860142142
They were really helpful.

I hope this saves someone some headaches and cash.
