Police said the scrambler was thought to have been stolen.
A man aged 23 from Waterloo and an 18-year-old from Netherton were both arrested on suspicion of drug supply and theft of a motorvehicle.
The arrests formed part of Operation Pelican which was set up to target the illegal use of scrambler bikes on Merseyside.
Scramblers have been long associated with crime and anti-social behaviour across the city.
A police spokesman said: "If you know where these off road bikes are stored or other motor vehicles you suspect to be stolen please get in touch anonymously via CrimeStoppers or via 101."
