Stay away. That "grab bar" is a 12 oclock bar. Stunters use it to know if they come too far back when doing a wheelie.

So the bike has more then likely been wheelied alot. If i'm not mistaken the way the motor on the 929 is set up, repeated wheelies can starve the motor of oil and cause long term damage.

I could be wrong on that part as i'm not a stunter. But I remember it was either the 929 or 954 that had issues from repeated wheelies.

But the 929 has definatly been stunted. Plus 5k is high. If you really like the bike and it really looks like it's in good shape, offer him $4,500 firm. If not take your money elsewhere.
