hard to say for sure because the States have a more litigous culture. In europe your friend, who is acting as a broker rather than a vendor would have limited liability, would not be liable for anything in the product (i.e. the bike)
Providing a receipt for the bike that states 'sold as seen' would remove all liability from the vendor in the UK (might be the same state-side), placing responsibility for the vehicles road-worthiness etc solely with the new owner.
