whats the best thing to start stunting dirt bike or street bikes?

 

Have u ever stunted anything before? IF not, then i would suggest you get an xr/crf50 and learn to control it. Learn how to find the balance point and learn the brake and throttle control. After you get pretty good on the 50, then you could look into getting a bigger bike. Though they are not the same, the concept is the same. The little bike makes for a great learner, plus its a lil more forgiving than a big bike..........However i have seen guys jump right onto a big bike and pickup everything without hardly any problems....So to each his own......But IMO, IF you have never stunted and you want to play a little more safe. Then i would suggest starting on a smaller xr/crf 50........But this is just my 2 cents........=-)

 

+1 But... Are you new to motorcycles? or just to street bikes? IF you have a motorcycle back ground you should have the basics already if this is your first bike i would for sure learn to control everything on a quad or a dirtbike/50 of some sort.

 

Crf 50 100%. If u can wheelie a 50 good you should be able to wheelie a street bike

 

im not new to motorcycles but im new to stunting and want to get started.
I've put new sprockets on my bike.
and I'm wondering the best starting point.
Do i start with my left foot on the passenger peg wheelies or just sitdowns or whats easiest to get started?

 

depends in what your comfortable with. I started with basic clutch ups doing stagger stance aka left foot back. Just make sure YOU ALWAYS COVER THE REAR BRAKE!! its a life saver. Im sure people with more experience will chime in. just throwing out the pointers that Ive been given your way.

 

thanks man..i dont know if its just how cbrs are or what, but i felt really weird trying to put my left foot back and lift one up...its like my back pegs feel too high

 

Staggered always was weird at first for me now its better then sitdowns

 

ive had 3 rr's they're all that way the rear pegs are just in a wierd spot and at a weird angle......OMR subcage made mine feel much better

thanks man
i plan on getting an omr subcage later this summer
i gotta get some money for a crash cage first.
would you reccommend an si cage?

 

ya SI are tanks they can take alot of abuse. but everybody has different takes on cages

 

ill prolly go with an si.........they seem pretty badass

 

I'd definitely recommend you get a 50 (or at least some seat time on one), just to get more comfortable with balancing, covering/using the brake, and being smooth with your throttle hand.

As far as staggerd or sitdowns, just go with whatever you feel most comfortable with. I started with sitdowns, but once I got over the intial awkwardness of stand ups, they felt sooo much better. If nothing else, it's nice to be able to see where you're going...

 

yeah. i wish i knew someone with a 50. I've got some friends who ride dirtbikes tho everyweek so ive get a ttr125 i can practice on a lil bit.

i told them i wanted to get some time on a bike before i got out on my cbr

 

i like how all the nubs, try and get the usernames on the net that are nothing to do with them

 

 

yeah si is the ****.... stay away from freestyle they high side if you slide the bike.... seems like si just slides till it stops ... must be from the angle of the lower bar

 

thanks a lot dude..thats good to know......cause i dont wanna highside at all..........
prolly gonna order an si as soon as i get some cash
