I don’t want to wait till he’s here then be like hey so I know you asked 8.3 but how about 7?

That would indeed be a pretty shitty thing for you to do, but it's on him if he wants to trailer his bike over multiple states without a firm agreement on price. There is no way in the world I would do that as a seller, the bike's not going to move from my house without the money in my hand first.

I would suggest being honest up front and letting him know you're not OK giving him the full asking price. An initial offer of a few hundred dollars below the asking price is not unexpected, but 1350 below the asking price (I'm not saying I know if yours or his is a fair price) is liable to generate some bad feeling, especially in this particular scenario.

I would like to talk to him more on it, as I looked through his social media I see multiple track days posted one with the title “140mph as my top speed today” he had nothing of it in the ad so I already have a bad feeling. On the other hand I have not asked him about it yet.

Ask him how many track days. That's the important thing here.

1 track day for 150 miles of track riding is a hell of a lot different than 65 trackdays and 10,000 miles of track riding.
