Hey..

Im looking to see what can be done on the 02/03 R1 stuntwise.

I'm also interested in finding pics of 12 bars for this bike. I'm not gonna put one on until I can scrape the taillight... consistently..

also, is there anyone that have had a custom made cage for the 02?

 

Heya Swedie, I scraped the taillight on my 02 R1,,, then the whole left side Then my backside......

if yer doin 12elves on the 02, I want video....

 

How bout pics?

 

dude, I can only do close to 12s. I'm not gonna come say I do 12s and then when asked for pics I'll be trying to talk myself out of it you know.

sup FURRED-R1 .. lol.. stick to one site.. lol jk..

I'm doing them sitdown btw.. to start with.. I'm a master on the mountainbike to do "12s" and coasters.. but the R1 is just a tiny bit heavier and different ya know..

I almost hit 12 in a highchair on Friday last week.. got that on video. i'll see about getting it up here soon. it was just too damn high!.. got me a little scared.

 

that's a smooth pic FURRED-R1......

what's your gearing???

 

What up Swedie..LOL...dont think i'm stalkin ya now...LOL, catch ya on the flip.

No gearing yet BuddyLuv, I personally dont think the R1 needs it, but who knows I might end up gearing here sooner or later.

 

i haven't yet gone anyway from stock gearing. I want to.. but I don't really feel I have to.. but it'd be nice. input get to be big(ger) output than with gearing on.. if you know what I mean.

the picture is of me . on my way to a one handed.... such wheelie.

 

u can 12 an r1.. its not that hard.. never done it with a bar.. but this is a pic... some kid had an 02 r1... 1000ceecee actually..

he let me ride it for a couple min.. didnt believe it could be 12'd

 

another... i must say this bike was a monster

 

Yep - hows that brand new bike w/ the tail scraped down? ha ha ha. I didn't believe he could actually do it, but low & behold.

Here's a video of him stuntin' my shiznit.

mind you, this is him only being on the bike maybe 15 minutes.

 

last one

 

Johnny, I am looking for a good bar as well. Been talking to a few people about it. I have stock gearing in R1 right now. I am able to get it to 12, just not very far. It's technique. Once you learn it, you should be able to do it on any bike that wheelies. I see it all the time and it is the age old stunting story. Some guy swears his bike won't do it, then someone comes along and does it on their bike to prove the point, then you feel like a jerk. It's all technique and practice. I think that gearing will help you learn a little faster though. I might go up about 5 in back and down 2 or so in the front to see what's up with that. When I talked to Darius at the stunt comp last time he had said that he went up like 10-11 in the back and down some in the front. I'm not going that drastic, but I do want to see if there is any truth to the gearing improvement of the learning curve.

 

thanks for the video... i need to go find a P.O.S. bike to practive with.. probably a Honda or a Suzuki to trash.

 

Hey, don't get me wrong.. I knew it could be done, just want to see it. Very sweet video btw..... I still care what my bike looks like right now. Once that's over, I'll try some more ****...
