What makes the honda 900 and 929 such good stunt bikes. I know honda is the most reliable but is it easier to stunt than say a r6 or 636. I always hear it is the rider not the bike but everyone is riding 900rr 929 or gsxr, do these bikes make it easier to stunt is the balance point lower, or is it just that they are more likley to take the abuse?

I haven't ridden a 900 or 929 but I have heard that their BP are easier to get to and hold, Gixxers the same thing I would assume.... I have heard yammys BP are small and tough to stay in. But then again I wouldn't know.....

I hear the same thing and from talking to other people honda has the biggest bp out of all the bikes. I do keep hearing Kawi for long stoppies but I am not sure on that one.

hondas are bullet proof, I have replaced at least 7 trans's and 4 cranks this year on R1's, GSXR's starve from oil, also like to spit oil when it has been up for a while, Havent seen enough cows, stunting to give an opinion, but hondas are golden as long as you change oil, your all good
