Use a gmail email, go pick the bike up and pay cash.
They would never be able to find you, And for the people that are paranoid

As above, until the bike is paid off under the C2W the company owns it - they could sell it and keep up the payments but if not the company could come knocking for it
Could do, yes. But unlike a car on HP or similar, there's no paper trail or clear registration. It likely not be worth their hassle. As long as the new owner does't give their name and address...Also not a police matter as they'd be hard pushed to prove theft.0 -

It's not theft as such no, as you say, no paper trail, no issue and the firm will just get the money from the employee, it's just technically the property of the firm until the "loan" is paid off, you don't know how diligent the seller is going to beSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
