Go get 'em "Big and Tall"!
Fiddy-
If you read the multitude of posts concerning buying and selling bigger bikes in Thaialand you will know that the majority come in without "papers". Their may be an invoice showing the parts were brought in, imported, and assembled. Seldom is the entire bike shown as imported as such.
Registrations and titles as you refer to them in Canada are here refered to as the "Book" and number plate which stays with the bike. Few larger bikes, especially those in the rental fleet, have them. Motorcycles that do are sold at premium prices. It may not be totally by the book but this is Northern Thailand and is the common practice.
In this case Saxonator lost his original invoice, simple really. Going back and getting a replacement is not like walking into a dealership in N. America, or I assume Taiwan, and getting a replacement.
If you are interested in the bike that is simply the way it is here. If you are not interested in purchasing the bike, what do you care?
For anyone else interested, I am familiar with the "Saxonators" bikes and this one runs well and has been properly maintained.

Ever notice that "What the Heck!" is usually the right answer?
