if your looking for a cheap stunt bike you could get a f2 for about the same price and its a much better stunt bike IMO

FZR's have the plagued yamaha transmissions for rookie riders that love to bang-shift from first to second gear. Also, the FZR more specifically has a relative skinny rear tire compared to other models. The price isn't bad, and it wouldn't be a bad bike to learn on, but it could be limiting also. The way I see it, if it's on two wheels, it can wheelie, it's just some bikes connect with the rider better than others.
