Yes.

Visit seller on your scooter.

Buy bike.

Get paperwork and key.

Go home.

The bike is now yours... just needs to be picked up.

Arrange for transport afterwards, when schedules can be coordinated. Any reasonable seller will be happy to park the bike while you get transport worked out. In the meantime, you can visit the DMV and get the title/registration/plate sorted out.

Your farmer relative sounds like the best option. Loading a truck (I assume a pickup) can be tricky... very high bed, steep ramps (you need ramps), etc. If he doesn't own a trailer and ramps, then a U-Haul motorcycle trailer (built-in ramp) can be rented for $15 per day.
