Like the first guy said, it could be a lot of things. My guess would be something to do with carburetion, but, I'd start with the simple things first. How about some fresh plugs and a good look at the air filter.

How many miles? 750 or 1100?
Has he messed with it?

It could be a number of things. Make sure it has good gas, and a fresh sparkplug to start with. "Thats mandoe". Next, check plug wires for cracks and dryness(crusty hard). I could go on with things to check, but one last thing to check, if your qualified to do so is, carb float height. That drastically has a effect on what your describing.

Go for the simplest, cheapest fix, first.
That bike has an in-line fuel filter. See if it needs replaced. It may be starving the engine for fuel when the throttle is opened.
Happened with a friend's Sportster.
