If you had a title, you can apply for a lost title replacement to the state that issued the title you lost. If you had only a MSO and never titled the vehicle, you may very well have a bigger problem.
Some states have lost title procedures for older low value vehicles. In Missouri there is a process if the vehicle is more than 7 years old and worth less than $3k IIRC.
I went through this same thing and spoke with the right people at Suzuki USA. They Cannot get a dupe MSO for one that old. Your only option is a bonded title. Cost about 300 bucks but will get you on the street
I thought you could get a maine or vermont title by mail, as long as the vin does not come back as stolen,then once you have the VT or ME title transfer it to your state. I just can't recall which one of those 2 yankee states it is that people use to get new titles that way.
An out of state vehicle needs a LEO or VT DMV to verify the VIN before you can get a VT title. I live here and had to go through it again last year when I registered my ZX10R last registered in NY State. Not sure if an out of state LEO is allowable though.
I think VT & ME were for "Off Road" bikes folks were trying to make road legal. Otherwise a bonded title.
