954 for first stunt bike?

DroppaDime · 07-03-2009, 08:43 PM

Hey all,
I've been riding for a couple years now and I'm going to start stunting. I bought my friends 03 cbr 954 for a great price because the thing needed some love. I dont know whether to use this as my first stunt bike or make it pretty and sell it, using the money for something else? I see 954s at stunt shows and such and I ride an R1 and love the liter power, but I dont know if its the best bike to start with. Any input on this is appreciated...

no..i would not even recommend it to a pro as a lot bike..good street stunt bike..way to much bike for lots..600 is just a better way to go as far as ur talkin about lots..

$2K full yoshi, polished frame, upper fairing in 9 pieces, headlight missing half the tabs, tail fairing cracked like a dropped egg. But she runs like a champ!

what im trying to say is,its not much of a forgiving bike..u can stunt it never the less..

jebova2301 · 07-03-2009, 09:25 PM

if youre learning to stunt on that...MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A CAMERA RECORDING ALL THE TIME!!!!

P_Nice31 · 07-03-2009, 09:26 PM

Stunt whateva u got. People here would say sell it and get a F4i or 636. I say your name goes in the "You know ur a squid if..." thread because who writes their whole bike make and model in their profile. lol welcome to SL.

dude im guess he dose not even give a shit..i dont know why you do..

DroppaDime · 07-03-2009, 11:37 PM

If I didnt give a shit I wouldnt have posted it. Actually I was with him when he bought it from a local shop owner. IT was badass when we picked it up probably two years ago, the first liter bike I rode. Flat black with silver honda symbols. I have no idea how it got so bad. He never even rides. I picked up a brand new tank in orlando, along with a new radiator and a new painted tail piece off a guy on craigslist and got all of them for 180$. But I'm at the point now where I could buy the fairing kit on ebay and have it back to new or replace the broken pieces, save the good tank and stunt it?

Jase learnt on one, a 600 would be easier, but there isnt anything wrong with a 954 as a stunt bike

Wicked bike for straight line combo's and stoppies
