I'm looking at buying a bike and just wondered what the official line is.

Do you mean will it come up on HPI?
If so, I'd think it would have to be reported to the insurers as stolen, or perhaps you'd even have to claim. Insurers are the ones that slap the write-off categories on vehicles and I think they'd be the ones to slap the stolen/recovered marker on it too.
Could be wrong though, lol
