I would follow Thermal's advice first - don't make it hard on yourself... If the bike is a legitimate US bike, then there ought to be no problem bringing it back in physically - the only issue is proving it actually belongs to you now.
The problem there will be that typically a replacement title will only be issued to the current titled owner they have on file, who may or may not be willing (or even able, if they have moved for instance) to forward it on to you.
As I say, I would contact the DMV who issued the plate, explain the current position - and be honest about it - and see if they can't provide a replacement title and/or at least the details of the original US owner, and take it from there...
Good luck!
