Magadan is primarily served by regional flights from Vladivostok. There are also flights from Magadan up to Anadyr, but those would be of no interest to your friend. Similarly, there are also flights from some cities further west in Russia to Magadan, but those would also likely be of little interest.
Be aware that Magadan airport is a long way out of town, in a village called Sokol. There are no services in Sokol except a bunkhouse for air crew. Sokol is not quite the arsehole of the world, but you can see it from there. It's about a 50 km drive into Magadan from the airport.
So far as riding from Vladivostok to Magadan is concerned, the road route is over 5,000 km ONE WAY. There are very few, if any, services along that road. I know because I have flown between Magadan and Vladivostok many, many times (and overnighted in both Sokol and Vlad many times).
As for your continued hunt for a method of transporting a moto from Alaska to Magadan - if you find a way, post the information here, because I assure you that you will be the very first person to have every found a way to ship a bike from Alaska to Magadan.
I'm not writing this to discourage you, just to save you from wasting a lot of time trying to find a solution that does not exist.
