wat do u guys think of em as stunt bikes. i havent seen many guys ridin em. is there any particular reason? besides being a thou.. i can pick on up very cheap and just want to make sure they are a decent bike to learn slow stuff on.

 

no good.

 

do u wanna give me a bit more info on that. like why? are they that bad they cant be stunted or wat??

 

anything you can get cheap and you dont care about dropping makes a good stunt bike

 

+1:YEAH

 

everybike with a stock sprocket is hard to learn slow stuff
if you crash a r1 at 20mph its done forever
its ugly

 

R1's are weak, can't to many hits before the frame cracks or the sub frame brakes

 

the thing with r1's is that to increase speed, they use lighter and less durable parts, your best bet is buy it, make it pretty and sell it, and dont get an r6 to stunt on either, they're not much more durable

 

rear sets are garbage too, older r1's have 1 pc. frame/subs too.Yam parts are cheap though

 

i got an r1, stunt it, dropped it numerous times and its all good. little twitchy though.....

Lake.

 

There twitchy, fragile, and the engines don't like to be at 12.. same goes for R6... The most common stunt rides are going to be the hondas and kawi's... They are just more durable and just as easy to come by.

 

get a 954

 

I had a 2000 and blew a motor pretty quick (12000km motor, with about 1000 stunt kms)

I didn't drop it much at all, so I don't know anything about the durability. Wheelies just like anything else with a +10 rear.
