That's why I never give up possession of an item before payment is received. If they are making payments, I tell them I'll hold the item untill the last payment is received. The payments will ensure that I don't sell the item to someone else. I do this with everyone, friends included.

EDIT: Also for any vehicle sales, I always draft up a bill of sale. Do you have a contract of any kind that states when the payments were supposed to be made and the amounts?

Is the bike registered to your brother or your so called friend? If it is registered to your brother, simply report it stolen and you can get it back from the guy.

If the title has already been transferred to the guy, then I guess your only option is to take him to small claims court and hope for the best.

So your brother sold him the bike and did not receive full payment?

Is there a bill of sale of paperwork that both parties signed stating price and or arrangement of sale? Just clarifying in case someone who is a lawyer steps in.

Call the police and you can get the bike back. You will have to refund money paid to date.

Tell them the whole story. It's still your bro's bike. The contract was not met. You might need to show proof of the original condition of the bike before it was "sold" in order to retain money for damages. But I am not a lawyer or a police officer. I suggest you contact the police and talk with them.
