What makes a good stunt bike?

I'm looking for a new bike for stunting and I was wondering. What is it that makes a bike good for stunting? I watch a lot of vids and always see a lot of hondas and suzukis. Especially more than yamahas. Is there a reason for this.

All I can think of is either they are better or just that there are more of them and parts are cheaper.

I like hondas they can take a hella beating and keep coming back for more. never really had any yamahas so cant say much for them.

Suzuki isnt bad. But for stunting you cant go wrong with honda

Re: What makes a good stunt bike?

From what I hear honda's are the way to go. It will probably be my next bike. Everyone that has one swears by it. I have a yamaha... and compared to my gixxer I don't like it for stunts. If you're more of a knee dragger and twistie guy they are awesome. Great track bikes. But they have real short swingarms and don't take falls very well at all when it comes to stunting. It all depends on your budget and what you can find. Anything is stuntable. So get what you can and rock it. But if you have a choice, go with a honda or a gixxer. Just my

Edit: I think the 636's are pretty good too. But a bit more pricey!

I would say just go with whatever you are more comefortable on. To me Honda makes the most comfortable bike IMO.

I think the most important part of a stuntbike is the rider.. rider can stunt any bike but a bike cannot make a rider a stunter..

looks like your SOL
