Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I bought a dirtbike from a guy on craigslist who bought the bike from the original owner but he didn't have the title I go to the DMV to get it registered and replace the title and they say the bike is registered to someone else. The original owner sold the bike to the person I bought it from in 2009 it's now 2012 the bike was never reported stolen. So the DMV made me pay 340 to register the bike just to get the owners info so I could write her and get authorization to give me the title so I write her and she said she sold the bike to a guy and he stilled owed her $1700 and she wouldn't release the title til I or he paid her. What can I do? Isn't her issue with him not me?

You have a problem with the guy that sold you the dirtbike. He didn't have title to give you, having failed to complete his contract with the person he bought it from. You can pay her and go after him, or just go after him to get your money back.
