It may be just me but I'm always a bit suspicious when there's no phone number available for a chat about the bike.
Was this advert on a noticeboard in the St.Helens area?

Well….
Many folk have very good reason for not publishing their phone number to Joe public, I certainly would not.
Interested parties would email asking basic questions and request phone number for a more detailed chat perhaps ?

I did that once and the seller would only correspond via email. Two days later the advert was taken down as suspect by eBay.
BTW, I don't think this is the OP's bike because I know he currently has a Harley Davidson Ultra or similar. I'm thinking he's spotted the ad and posted it up on here.
Agreed, when the seller insists on email only it sounds dodgy, speaking to someone gives you an initial measure of them and how they respond to on the spot questions. I advertised a bike with a printed card behind the screen at an event using one of my emails, then when interested persons contacted I gave them my phone number and all went well. From experience, I found that on one occaision, advertising a phone number widely caused problems.
If in doubt use a burner phone, or cheap PAYGO sim for such transactions then you can switch the old phone off until the next time or even scrap the sim and buy a new one for a fiver, you'll only need to receive calls.
Can you imagine, going into the shop and asking for burner phone, armed police, anti-terrorism, organised crime and drugs officers on scene. Why not send in your granny to buy it LOL
Basically I live in St.Helens where the bike is located as per advert. If anyone from miles away is interested and negotiations go as far as a physical viewing is needed, I can pop round and have a look see on their behalf.
In addition to the above post, if anyone is interested in buying it and has any questions regarding this make and model, I currently own a Roadmaster which is my second one, so quite happy to advise on what to look for, running costs, servicing etc.
I have been running Indians with the Thunderstroke engine now for 11 years so know them quite well.

My first RM was the white and grey one so I’m assuming it will look like the one below:
A burner phone is any phone that's cheap and throwaway and for temporary use.
You don't actually ask for one in the shop.
Although I suspect you know that, or your granny might
Yep, aware of that, just poking a bit of fun. Suspect the Police won't take Granny away in an armoured vehicle.
Someone on the TV programme Traitors did just that and the shop called the police.

Typical TV people, where do they get them from.
I expect the police had a good laugh at it. Or did they rush round hoping to catch someone?
Hey Bob, is that just coincidence you have a Springfield van in the back of your Indian RM photo 
No; it’s my son’s he worked for them at the time.Hey Bob, is that just coincidence you have a Springfield van in the back of your Indian RM photo

It is my cousin's motorcycle and I am just doing him a favour. I just wrote it out on paper and took a photo.
He has been spoiled riding a Goldwing and wants another.
Email is easier to contact someone who can read it when possible. Some people block callers not on their contacts list.

My cousin's bike, so only doing him a favour due to there being an Indian thread on this forum.
Which is a far cry from the original idea of a BMW adventure bike online outlet.
