Sorry, I made the opposite assumption. The guy is 25, so his mom is (hopefully) no younger than 40, and most likely somewhere between 50 and 60. While it's not impossible for a middle aged woman to own and ride a powerful, Japanese sport bike, I'd say it's pretty unlikely, ergo I assumed she registered (and likely bought) it for junior.
Plus if it were really stolen, I don't think the police would be able to seize it, unless the laws in Canada are really weird. If he had taken it from a random stranger, it would be pretty strange and unfair to punish that person for his actions. It should be no different if he stole the bike from someone he knew, unless maybe she knew it was gone and failed to report it.
