Take the serial number (or Vehicle Identification Number/VIN) off the frame and bring it to the police or local DMV and ask them to 'run' it for a stolen check. Usually they are glad to do this with no charge.
Bikes are frequently stolen and parts and even engines swapped out, but the frame VIN (by which bikes are titled and registered) will always be there. If it is missing - stay away from it!

Contact your local police to see if they have it reported, alternatively obtain the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from the Motorcycle and have a VIN check report run on it.

What happens if you buy a stolen motorcycle from a dealer?
You get charged with possession of a stolen vehicle I believe. If you knew it was stolen when you bought it then you are handling stolen goods (or a similarly fragrant nosegay of legalspeak, depending where you live) and the police will be keeping a close eye on you and they will be very interested in you. If you did not know it was stolen, then the motorcycle will be confiscated and searched so they can try and find out who had stolen it and where it came from. How you then get your money back, if at all, depends again on where you live.
