I've never heard of a fraudulent bank wire but I just want to be sure before I tell the guy I'll sell my bike to him.

Your dealing with Switzerland and North America... unlikely a scam on wires, but get these funds deposited into your account and cleared of any "source of funds" paperwork first, - before releasing your bike.
Wires funds are removed from a client account when the banks sends the wire - it's not easy to have this reversed, if ever.
