Searching for a new bike.

[NeonspeedRT]

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.

Thats what i was thinking when i offered 4700 to test the waters... only thing is this guy did not strike me as a stunter of any sorts. good heads up though.

also found a 2004 gsxr 600 about an hour away for 5k. 21k miles, but he claims its been well maintained and its spotless. Imma go take a look this weekend.

The 929 is a strong motor with loads of torque.

yea the seals were one of the first things i went to look for. specially when he told me there was a 520 conversion on the bike. i would have walked away then and there if he had not said he still had the stock sprockets.
