I apologize in advance for the newb questions.
I'm looking at a used 2020 Factory Edition with 17 hours on it. As the 2nd owner of this bike, am I able to go to my dealer and purchase replacement factory edition plastics for it? How does that process work?
The bike is currently financed through KTM according to the owner. I will pay cash - how do I ensure that the owner pays off his loan and I get the title in a timely manner?
Thanks!

But the second question is the important one. Really the only way I can think of doing it would be to go to the dealer with him to do the purchase of the bike there and have him pay off the loan with you there. But it’s still sketchy because as soon as you give him the money he can do whatever he wants with it and you won’t have a bike. Someone else may have a better idea.
You can go through your bank with him there so he can sign off on the paperwork or you would have to find a dealer who is willing to handle the money exchange and paperwork.
I’ve even gone to my bank when I was the seller:
-public meeting place
-they can count the $ and verify actual currency (counterfeit is not as uncommon as you’d think)
-they deposit it so I’m not walking out with a stack of cash
-I sign title over in front of bank staff so he/she has a witness that bike is theirs
-bike comes out of my truck into theirs after above is complete.

It's all if's and but's right now - I haven't even seen the bike in person yet, just wanting to be prepared if it happens to be the right deal.
Appreciate all of the advice.
Title came in the mail yesterday, overall everything went great just a little more hassle than I'm used to.
