600rr stuntbike?

[Ishc54]

Hell yah for $4500 i will jump on it...

And cover... post pics of your 2 bikes.... dude.. all u do is postwhore all day ,,,, do you have anything else to do besides sit at the computer and argue with people on the internet ???? honestly..

[not_me]

Not to agree or disagree with anyone here but facts are facts

1. MD600 asked a valid question that he needs answered
2. People bitch and disagree too much
3. Most comments are opinionated rather than based on fact (I said MOST, not all)
4. New bikes have more power, in their respected class, than older, obviously
5. New bikes are built for speed, lower to the ground and race oriented (position of ryder....)

Lets state facts by backing up what you are saying. I think if you mod the 600RR with better gearing it will be fine. There is the whole Carb/FI debate here also but everyone has their preference. Since I haven't rode one, this is only theory not fact.

Please stop BSing and lets learn from one another. You all have good points but place blame on others too much. I respect you all...

Scoop

shit. 4,500 jump on that 600RR. its a honda. its got a clutch & a rear brake. it'll stunt!

well.... technically, it doesnt have a clutch for the time being

didnt mean to cause so much contraversy here but ill know by sunday if im gettin the 600rr. decided ill buy it if i can, but if not, ive been checkin the paper everyday

thx for all your input

Actually keeping the front wheel down is an objective made by manufacturers, the mere fact is the truth, more power does not mean more wheelies, yes of course any sportbike is capable of wheelies, but my point I am trying to emphasise are on todays motorcycles the front end weight is concentrated in order to move the CG closer to the ground for better handling, which obviously conveniently includes wheelies, even if the top 4 Jap makers didn't release a pamphlet saying "Hey we are out to abolish wheelies this year" It is just that older deltabox frames are wider and distribute mass more evenly, which helps make it wheelie friendly. Take my 95 RR if you are a good "stunter" and then take a shitbox 600 RR then try to wheelie that bitch easier than mines.

Take a damn physics class and never call science bs.

then throw in the better handling of newer bikes, their balance, throttle response, better stock clutches, and power delivery and see which is easier to ride out.
Just cuz you've taken a class or two won't make you a professor.

First off, what's a deltabox frame have to do with a conversation about Hondas?
And second, keep in mind, wheelies are only one part of stunting.

Exactly!! Newer bikes have fade-resistant and better brakes, which makes stoppies easier. And all around better performance = more control. Only down side is that they're more expensive to fix when crunchy.

All sportbikes use a typical variation of the Deltabox frame called so due to its geometry. The fact that Yamaha has taken the term as one of their own does not diminish its significance as a great way to describe its shape.

With regards to wheelies only being one part of stunts, in my observation, the wheelies occupy the majority of "tricks" done, and you cannot deny that, look at all the different variations of wheelies, look on the How to Stunt forum and notice half the page has to do with help with different versions of wheelies. Look at 10 stunt videos, and unless it is the occasional "Stoppie Madness," more than 80% of the running length is devoted to wheelies.

I was commenting wheelie wise as you can see from my first post, now you are grabbing for filler to argue with me by talking about stoppies, when we both know that yes, stock brakes get undeniably more endo-friendly every single year.

[od1nixer]

good point on the deltabox thing. I had been working on yamaha streetbikes for so long, never even thought about the term. But unfortunately for you I wasn't looking for an arguement

[wangsta6]

i rode a 600rr and dave87s rides it works just fine

[20dub]

my boy got 1 , i think they are underpowered and if you crash bad with it it's gonna worked.u can find a 929 or 900 anywhere 4 $4500.00.my

[RYAN_PBZ]

i had one almost all of last summer. i have had 3 900RRs, a 954, new r1, rode new gixxers, i have got a chance to stunt about about every kind of bike there is out there, and my 600RR i had last summer was probally my favorite bike i have ever rode. they are sweet. they are sooooooo well balanced, PLENTY of power, looks sweet as shit, and its a honda. although, i think my 954 comes ina close second.

if you can get that bike for 4500 theny ou better had jump on it. if you dont, then hit me up and i will come buy it. i would love to have another one.

only compaint i had for it was that i couldnt find a good place to mount a cage. im sure its possible. there is pobally manufactuers taht make cages for them now.


this is my opinion. i have owned a 600rr......... pm me if you have anymore ???????

[od1nixer]

straight from the horses mouth. I loved the one i rode, didn't get to stunt it, but I loved the bike.

[MD600]

is that plastic tank even dentable?

[Jay Carnes]

With enough determination anything can be dented on a bike

[PitBull916]

very stuntable......

[MD600]

very stuntable......

[FTPstunna]

Ya, Id jump all over it for $4500. You will love that bike if you get it. ~Nick

[CRASHCART]

All it really means is that cg is changed, which means that the balance point,or what ever people are calling it these days,is changed. I have seen several people, including a good friend stunt one, and they say that it is different, but just great for stunting. The radial brakes are a little grabby. This is the biggest complaint. Almost the same power as a 900rr in a leaner frame. what is wrong with that. People have been stunting 600's for a long time, and they are not getting that much slimmer and more centered to make a real difference. Do you think?

[Rsexy11]

my friend i ride with has one and he could ride the freeway for miles on a third gear stand up.... that bike is a good bike if you know how to clutch... it gets up like nothing.... the only thing that suks is that the gas tank is plastic.. and the small trunk space......
