If what you need is a title in your name, the answer is Photoshop. Resistance is futile.
I got a PM from your riding companion. I've got nothing more for you than the above suggestion, but you can learn everything you need about registration requirements in each of the 50 states by Googling them one at a time. You might also do a search on the HUBB for past threads addressing the usual issues--like which states are more lenient, which are impossible to work with.
Me, I would not have let the seller out of my sight until I'd imported the bike in my own name. You can always send a title off to the other side of the world later on, but you don't want to put your money down without receiving the merchandise as promised.
FWIW, I seem to recall that TravelingStrom's buyer had some sort of trouble legalizing the bike, sooner or later. Maybe I got this part wrong.
Hope that's helpful.
