Bonded titles are a guarantee to the state that you own the bike and have a title to it. Their rational for giving you the runaround and requiring a bonded title is that you are alleviating the remote circumstance that someone will show up and claim they own your bike. You know that no one else can claim it, but the state is a different story alltogether.
There are specific places that offer bonded titles; at least here in AZ, most are also insurance agency offices. They sell the bond at a set percentage of the value of the bike or sale price of the bike, usually ten percent, or something like that. Had I needed to go that route in AZ, I would have had to pay something like $125-150.
