thats a big heavy monster. i would not stunt it, but i have rocked some fun highway whoolies on one.

yep under powered heavy pig but a giant sprocket and a cage will make it stuntable but i suggest you find a lighter injected 600 ,carburated bikes suck

It's all up to you.
But something a little lighter might work better for you.
f3, f4i, 600rr, 636, 929. are favored by pro stunters like cycoward.
tony and nappy both ride f4i's fyi.

i've owned 2 and yes they're heavy pigs but gear them and you'll have no problem with the wheelies. The best endos i've ever ridden have been on a 7r. its the one good thing about the front end.

put your money in to an injected 600 to stunt.
