Default scam?

Here is the email that I got back from this guy who is selling his bike on ebay. I am pretty sure this is a scam so I just mess around with him it starts from the bottom so you have to read from bottom top sry

Sampson,

I have the feeling that you are not interested in buying the bike and you're just questioning me. Anyway, the registration fees here in Europe are very high specially for US vehicles because of their EURO standards and not just I cannot sell it here but I cannot ride it here. So just for your information an US 2005 Honda CBR it's different than an European 2005 honda CBR.
So that's why it's more convenient for me to sell it in US.

Best regards,
Joe

Hello,

I received your e-mail about my 2003 HONDA CBR600F4i. The bike is in perfect working condition, with no damage at all, the title is clear. Only 921 miles. Total price with shipping included is $2,900.
I was recently promoted at Deaf-Mute Association of N.Y.D.M. so I had to move in UK with my wife and kids. We brought the bike with us but we don't have time for it anymore and we want to buy a house here so we decided to sell it. For our protection I want to make the transaction through eBay Motors. You will have 15 days to inspect the bike before I will receive the payment from them.
In this way we will be 100% protected. If you still are interested please reply.

I`m waiting for your reply.

Best Regards,
Joe.
