I’m presuming the bike has plates and can be traced to the owner.

Running off isn’t going to help much.

It was probably stolen.

You would hope so. However I see and know of a lot of "Rice-Rocket-Riders" who ride illegally, on unregistered and uninsured bikes. They rely on the speed and maneuverability to be able to get themselves away when they come under scrutiny. Rather like this guy was doing, but didn't think of wet concrete (many are inexperienced riders)...

Case in point: Motorcycle rider killed in Myrtle Beach SC this year for bike week when he ran a checkpoint and crashed down the road. Turned out he had stolen the bike in another state in order to go to the bike week rally. Now that was a hefty fine....
