What about R1s and stunting.

I have a 99 R1 and am wondering whats the opinion on it as a stunt bike. I feel that it has a shitty balance point kinda hard to find the sweet spot. Ive been riding and doing wheelies since 1990 so im not a beginner at wheelies. Not a pro either but not a beginner. I used to wheelie my 86 gixxer 750 for miles (sitting down). The R1 seems to want to drop really quick if you modulate the throttle. All advice is apprecated.

Thanks
Steve
