NYS Registering Motorcycle with no bill of sale?

Recently bought a 1986 honda rebel off a guy who was moving. I have the title and he signed the title over to me. Now when i go to register it the DMV says i need a bill of sale. I have no way to get in contact with the guy who sold it to me. Is there anything I can do to get this registered?

Get your friend and both you write and sign a bill of sale. No ones the wiser.

Take it to Illinois and get it licensed and then you can transfer it in New York. In Illinois if you have a signed title, that is all you need.
