That's the end run. Revin it. If it is a collector bike, that could beat up the value.
You can't get a replacement ownership for a bike that was never registered in Ontario.
…or like Relax said, you could just play dumb and see what happens.
That only applies to cars on motorcycles. The brand is permanent and never to be registered as a road legal vehicle againOut-of-province vehicles
Vehicles from another Canadian or U.S. jurisdiction that are registered in Ontario will have their vehicle brand carried over, except for the “Rebuilt” brand, which will be downgraded to “Salvage.” Before these vehicles can be driven in Ontario, they require a structural inspection from a registered DriveON VIC to be registered as “Rebuilt.” Once the inspection is complete, you can take your documentation to a ServiceOntario location to register your vehicle.
Motorcycles with a brand that isn’t equivalent to “None” will have their brand downgraded to “Irreparable.”
The way I’m reading this, they will downgrade a brand from rebuilt to salvage. However, if you get a structural inspection from a registered DriveON VIC to be registered as rebuilt. You can take that inspection with the out of province title and change the ownership to maintain a rebuilt title. I would definitely ask a DriveON center to confirm, since it’s not clearly laid out this way but, the above is cut and paste from my previous post with the link.
I think that applies to cages and not motorcycles. My understanding is there is no structural inspection form for motorcycles so they can't come back after a brand.Out-of-province vehicles

Missed that. Thanks for the correction!I think that applies to cages and not motorcycles. My understanding is there is no structural inspection form for motorcycles so they can't come back after a brand.

Learn about Ontario’s program to brand used vehicles and how to avoid buying an unsafe vehicle.www.ontario.ca
In Ontario, the only brands that can be assigned to a motorcycle are “None” and “Irreparable”.
Where there is damage to the frame that requires replacement, the motorcycle is branded as “Irreparable”.
All imported motorcycles previously branded as “Irreparable”, “Salvage”, “Rebuilt” or an equivalent brand in another jurisdiction are branded “Irreparable” when registered in Ontario.
A Structural Inspection Certificate cannot be issued for a motorcycle. This means that the motorcycle will never be eligible to be driven on Ontario roads and can only be used for parts. A vehicle permit is still issued.
Ontario’s mandatory motorcycle branding laws came into effect on July 16, 2007. Some motorcycles that were imported and registered before July 16, 2007, may not have been branded and should be left non-branded."
