Re: Same price 954 or 1000RR should I really get the 954?
If you are locked in a liter bike then get the 954, they are hella hairy and way more raw of a machine than the 1k. the 1k is unbeatable on the track but for street riding and occasional stunting the 954 is about the best there is. Everything else has been beaten into thegroud. *** for some of these guys...they are clueless. Riding motocross helps A LOT. Some of you guys who are commenting have never raced mx and it shows. That is the best way to learn bike control. You have to learn to get in the power and keep it there (slipping th clutch, maintining the throttle hand, etc.) you also need to learn mad brake control to level over jumps or get into corners. Anyone who doesn't think it helps then I say this. IF you are a good stunter then go out and try to run even a B level motocross moto and watch yourself get wrecked. If you look dirt guys make better stunters than stunters make dirt guys. MX is much much harder

I have been riding my KX 250 daily and working on the back brake wheelie thing. I am getting real close to BP on it but when I use the back brake at all it kills my (jump)when I clutch launch the wheelie.
When do I hit the back brake? When I think I am going to go over? Or do I ride the back brake the entire time and just give it more gas?
Practicing in my buddies grassy pasture is great with the mx gear on I am not so afraid of looping the bike. I have looped a MX bike before just never sobber.
Again thanks for all the advice even though I got my guard up. I have to do something with this $$$ I work my *** off for otherwise I will have to trade my POS daily driver Civic in on something nicer like my wife wants me to.

Try clearing a sixty foot triple with two other guys in the air right beside you, in my sport I see squids go to the ER every race day.
I had bought a zx-7 new in 94' but sold it in 96' since it couldn't power wheelie and I got too many tickets on it.
If you re-read my post I said I have riden wheelies (about 3 foot off the ground) all the way thru 1st (I know not near bp, but not 3 inches either). on the 02'zx-9 and 01 929 I just like the way the 929 wheelies way better.
I have a 69 Chevelle that I bracket race in the 10.10's am I not ready for that either??? I have been drag racing it for years now.

you are going to get more speeding tickets on a 1000rr than a zx7
1000rr is a race bike, not a stunt bike. get a 929 not a 954
