Default Internet scammer or not?

I have an unregistered motorbike for sale on bikesales.com.

I hav'nt had any enquiries so today i lowered the price to $5,800.

Then later today i get a text message on my phone saying to email someone with a gmail account so i did send a message and just asked them to ring me personally.

Had no calls but got a fresh email message saying that the buyer is working offshore in NZ and has no phone access.

He wants me to send my Paypal details or send my bank account bsb and account number.

Said he will organise a courier to pick bike up and send it to Darwin where he reckons he lives.

I replied to his message saying i want to speak to him personally on a phone before sending ending bank details.

Is this an internet scam or is it a genuine buyer???
