At this point I haven't verified if I'll be able to get a title for it, since the IL DMV is closed on Mondays. I'll check tomorrow and find out what the deal is. Having never bought a brand new motorcycle before I'm not sure if they just come with a title, mso, or what.

I figured for the money I paid that I'd take a chance and see if I could get the frame titled. If it turns out I can't then I'm going back to Craig and asking to return the frame. He told me straight out that it came with a title.
You turn the MSO over to the RMV and they issue the title. No new vehicle comes with an actual title. Edit: no new bike anyway.
