Totally agree, he doesn't own the bike the finance company does. I would do what the other post suggests and contact the finance people yourself with the owner present to do the security passwords etc. Do not pay anything until the finance authorise it, they should warn of this while the transaction is going through.
Have done this myself, the owner rang finance, they gave him settlement figure, he told me what it was, I then spoke to the finance company paid the figure and got the title.
