if you want to wheelie for mile after mile and get decent at going around corners in the highway, there is no better bike than a GSXR1000. those things make wheelies so easy, it isnt even really a trick...it just happens and with a little practice the only thing that makes ya set it down is when your forearms get so tired they start to go numb and shake...seriously

pimp with White Rims, thow a MIG Hi-Mount Carbon fiber slip on to it, and that would be nice, maybe a black chrome windscreen, some white gauge backlighting, from bluegauges.com, and maybe a gauge face from the same. I could go on, I like messing with bikes, since mines a piece I get to look at yall's nice ones, lol.
Hey you got a Erion, you want to sell it for cheap, lol!!!

If you don't know what a gix 1000 is then you need to search the internet.........Seriously.....I never heard of a stunter/ track racer/ anyone who didn't know such general bikes......or were that lazy
If you don't know how to wheelie then don't get the R1. If you do then it'll be fine.....
The reason people don't favor it for stuntin is b/c of the horrible balance point
