Good cheap bike to learn stunts on? - Stunt Discussion

sungwei · 11-13-2003, 10:52 PM

I was checking out the XR50 cause everyone says that's a good bike to learn wheelies on and learn brake control. One thing that I noticed was that this bike has no clutch. So how do you practice clutching it up? I mean I'm sure you can lift it without a clutch, but if you learn that way, when you transfer to a big bike won't you still be confused on clutching it up? I noticed the XR70/80s have clutches, though some were auto transmisiion.

I have a big driveway. Will these bikes be small enough to practice slow wheelies or do you still need a decent amount of room?

Any other bike suggestions? Is this the best approach to mastering the wheelie? Thanks.

XR fiddy is Good to learn brake control and body lean, but as far wheelies go, doesn't even come close to a sport bike... fiddy just doesn't compare in power
