I'm thinking about getting a Honda crf450 for stunting. I saw ryan from 50stunt killin the 450 & it looked like alot of fun! How would this be to learn on? I was wondering if it would be easier or harder than a sportbike? It's 6" taller than a f4i will this make it alot harder? It only weighs 250lbs so its lighter than a sportbike will this make it easier to learn on? I have a 50 to practice on too! And is there any kind of custom cage or sliders I can get to protect my engine from crashes? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Here is the link for the clip I found.

thats sick! i have to have one! you can kill the lots and streets, and still get some big air

 

hell yeah you could murder the streets and then when the po po trys to roll up on ya you can smash out into the forest or some dirt trail

 

Sick :YEAH although i think i still have more fun on the street bike!

 

i saw a guy wasting cars down a residential street on a CRF450 the other day while i was riding the Bandit, lol he had dirt tires and everything and he was just nailin the cars, going past them like they were going the other way hahahahhaha i gave him the thumbs up!!!!

 

i rode one tonight for the first time ......big ***** ******* power in a little bike woooo hoooo is all i kept saying....

i was rockin some pretty slow first gear wheelies slow enough to be almost stalling it , it was pretty nice to twelve

i tried for an hour to do some sit down circles and got like one crappy one but with a little more gear i think it would make an awsome trick bike ,and maybe a rear peg or two would make it a little more fun too..

oh and it was all super motoed out with the kick *** brake set up and about $2500 worth of wheels and tires,nice bike for sure

 

Dude in the clip kills it for sure on that thing!Bike looks like alot of fun!:YEAH

 

Thanks!! Here are a couple more clips, that one was fimed with only 2 weeks on the bike, check these out

This one is my favorite so far:

It takes alot of fab to get the 450 ready for circle combos n ****, I built everything on the bike. Now I need to built a new motor, cuz that one blew up a couple weeks ago, 2G's just for parts

Thats insane bro!

 

So are they easier or harder to stunt than a big bike. They look like a lot of fun for sure, but its not good to hear you blew the motor on it.

 

& how did you blow your motor?

 

ryan thats one of the sickest things i have witnessed, your my idol! im gettin a crf450 this summer now!

 

The plastic oil pump drive gear broke and took out the crank, cylinder, cases, piston, just straight carnage. I think it is from overheating it to many times doin burnout combos.

 

That sucks. So when will it be done? Do you have any closeups of the custom work on the bike so I can get an idea of how to get some stuff fabricated for the one I'm gettin. Anypics would really be appreciated, especially some of the subframe, 12 bar, & how you did your handbrake, but any pics would be appreciated. My email is nyrocketkid@yahoo.com if you could send me some that would be great!

 

And do you think it's easier to stunt than a big bike?

 

my friend is planning on gettin a 450 this summer just wondering how hard it would be for a guy that weights about 110 to do...he will not buy a streetbike to stunt with us and im not sure y lol

 

I wouldn't think weight would be that big of a deal. The 450x only weighs 250lbs which is really light compaired to a sportbike but it is really tall. If he can toutch flat foot it probably wouldn't be that bad.

 

if you plan on learing to stunt on a 450 you need one thing...........health insurance.

 

^^^^^
I guess that means that the dirtbikes are harder to stunt on. I wasn't sure if the light weight would help, or be so light that it would make it harder. I have no experience on a dirtbike at all but have always wanted one, that's why I'm asking.

So....Ryan if you get back on this thread, let see if we can answer the orginal question. Thanks.
