As to the original question regarding motorcycles, ALL motor vehicles are subject to the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

At their expense, my new Stage IV kit was installed in the new engine, the dealership swapped over all my chrome and extras onto the new bike, plus, because there were no other '17 Laguna Orange RK's within the state of CA, they had to give one with ABS and Security already on it as well for free. Mileage went from 13,500 to 47 and the warranty started over at day 1. The loan amount stayed the same with only a VIN change, so I gained equity because of the mileage difference. I definitely came out ahead in the deal. After the bikes were swapped out and I was back on the road, the MoCo had my dealership keep the old bike there and made them put it on the floor for resale right there. The MoCo said that, "Usually, the problem goes away with the previous owner". It sat on the floor and 2-3 months later it got sold. I'm pretty close with my service guys, so if it comes back in for the transfer, I'm sure I'll hear about it. So, although it wasn't an actual "Lemon Law" buy back, I was taken care of but you are right OP, they DO resell the old problem bikes!
Car companies do the same thing, though many times they will transfer the car and then sell the car out of state. They certainly don't put them in a crusher.

How do people keep digging up these old threads??

In the states I’m familiar with, the vehicles no longer have clear titles - they are titled as lemons.

That's strange. Under the lemon law for cars, the manufacturer has to pay all the customer's legal costs.
