Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Owner liability in resale of motorcycle

I am selling a motorcycle to a friend who can't qualify for the loan. He has been paying me, then I pay the bank. I am concerned about liability since he is riding it and my name is still on the title. We have no contract, is there such a form that will protect me as the loan holder while he is the actual driver? Should this be a concern for me? I also hold the insurance, though he is named as a driver on the policy.

Thank you!
