Payment options...?

Question for the crowd:
I am in the process of selling my GS.
Got a decent offer from a guy in FL who would like to have it shipped.
What are my options for collecting the funds?
I have no intention of shipping it or sending the title before the money clears my account.
On the other hand, if I were in his position, I wouldn't like to wire a decent amount of money to someone without the guarantee of receiving both the bike and title.
Is escrow the only option?

I can only imagine, thumper vs inline 4! Which one sounded better? #askingforafriend

I can't believe I didn't post the Ducati 796 that I had between the BMW and my current Yamaha. Damn this bike was good-looking. It was just brutal to ride for any distance and it hated starting if the temps dropped below 50ºF.

Both! I lived about 4 miles from my shop. On a nice morning I'd take the long way to work on my SR, which would involve about a one hour ride up into the Laguna Mountains. Constant throttle changes made wonderful wake-up noises.

The Eleven was a freight train, the noise was behind me ushering me on. My best ride on that was a month-long cross country ride, San Diego to Toronto Canada in four and a half days to see a girl I met at the Isle of Man the year before. A week there then two weeks back via the Trans-Canada highway to Vancouver where I turned left and down the Pacific Coast to San Diego.

That sounds super fun but why didn't you take the SR to Canada? Can you imagine just pinning it the entire time?!
