Re: little help for a beginner....

It is always frustrating to see someone say that they want a "crappy" bike to stunt. They see stuntbikes that are beat up and stunters saying that their bikes are beat and they think that they are not mechanically sound bikes. Now I know that some people ride ragged *** bikes but I have to imagine that 9 out of 10 guys are like me and don't want so stupid mechanical failure being the reason their leg is broke in half. It seems to be one of those stunting myth's and it kind of bothers me. Anyway, back to it...

Re: little help for a beginner....

dude sell the R6. It's not worth it if your gonna be doing anykinda stunting. I know to many people around here that are tryin to do the same thing you are and wish they wouldnt have tried to do any of it on an R6. It's so much more worth it to just sell it and get something else. Save you SOOOOOOO much money in the end.

They aren't notorious for blowing motors, the subframe is relatively strong, and cages are effective for them. I've seen them crack frames pretty bad, but other than that, they are good bikes!

+1 i rode my homies and the only complaint i had was the lack of throttle response due to it being carbed not injected.

my bikes might look crappy in the sense that there is a sick build up of coolant/oil/road grime gunk on places that my pressure washer and simple green just cant get off.. but i take a lot of pride in making sure my bikes mechanically sound prior to riding it.

and i only say this cause ive wrecked so many times from half assing my mechanics and forgetting to tighten bolts properly.. lol
