Clearly scamming, report them to autotrader.
Surely noone is dumb enough to fall for that ALL CAPS CRAP
Call anyone who wants to buy, secure details, no escape, no surrender

I was 99.9% sure it was a scam but can't quite work out what they will gain from this.

Fake draft cheque.
It'll clear, you pay the 'shipper' their bit and then the whole amount gets extracted from your account due to the dodgy cheque in the next few weeks

Overpayment, banker's draft, shipping company, return of excess monies...seems totally legit to me  People are so paranoid these days 
Just go ahead and send him the personal details he's requested and enjoy the extra money he's willing to pay without having seen the bike.
Oh, and welcome to the internet circa 2001.

What the hell is this? No "MY FRIEND IN GOD?" He's not even a CROWN PRINCE or a MINISTER (bible basher or political)? They're not even trying any more.

Scam, steer clear and ignore it.
or
At the very most tell them you'll only accept cash, so if they want it that badly they will have to arrange a freind/relative to pick the bike up and pay cash. Thumb each note under UV light, make them sign a bill of sale on behalf, smile and wave. Then they can sort payment out with mr Dublin.
But it might open the flood gates of hot scummy scamming lava sending an email back, use another scam/phish infected email!
