Just how I read it. Perhaps, like any advice I take no responsibility if, it goes wrong.
You can choose to simply reject his offer. You can choose to just not answer his e-mail.

It's a fake/counterfeit certified check... THAT is how this scam works. The bank will attempt to redeem it, the "issuing' bank will deny the claim and your bank will take the money out of your account. So, scammer has your bike (and any extra money from the check) and you have nothing.
