1990's cbr F1 stunt bike
whaz up ****. just put down some jack on a bike i came across. $600 to be exact. a little rough but what the **** it's a stunt bike right. just little tlc. here's what i looked for good running engine,straight forks,straight swingarm, straight frame. subframe is a little bent. front tire balled. plastics look like shiat. some dumb *** tried to wheelie around a corner and when he put it down crossed up, it didn't work ,LOL. no sense in wrecking the sv650 when i can beat the **** out of that honda. I will have some pics posted when i get it soo you guys can see my pile of junk.

Sounds like you will be havin fun. I had a friend sell an F1 and and F2 BOTH for 600 bucks. I was SO pissed off the next day when I found out about it. Both were ugly as hell, straight and ran. the f1 smoked. Too bad I couldnt pick em up.

I have an F2 and DLish is pimping his. Its a good stunt bike but your never going to see any high speed wheelies IMO especially if you gear it for easy wheelies. But it has a lot of potential and you'll suprise some people cause the bike could easily do 12s if you can do 12s.

Ok, help out a stunt newbie a little here, I've been riding for years, and not big into stunting, I just bought a 93 f2 to play on, and want to brush up my stunting skills. Bottom line, at this point I can whillie my BMW touring bike higher and longer than the f2. But then again I've put 150,000 miles on BMW touring bikes in the last 4 years so I should be pretty good on them. Whats the best way to bring up the f2, I'm curently bouncing it up in secound. Do I need to regear it? It's got stock gears. This is my first bike smaller than 1000 in 4 years so I'm not used to the lack of power, and most of my bikes have been eourpean twins with hellof tourque. What RPM should I using to bring the f2 up?
James.

You cant bounce a stock geared F2 in second. You have to clutch it and somewhat bounce it. If you gear the hell out of it then yes you can but the clutch is till better. I am -2front and +1 rear and that helps a lot. but if bought the bike for no real world riding. I would go -2 front and +6 to 10 in the rear. stock is 15-43 I believe. I am going to switch to 13-49 soon.
