Re: 600rr Rotor Question . . . .
The reason people run oversized rotors, is for when they are racing, you are hard on the brakes all the time, and the brakes heat up, and fade.
When your stunting, your never on the front brake that hard. Even for stoppies you aren't mashing the brake, if you are, your doing it wrong! You want to mash the brake at the start of a stoppie, but once your rolling, you don't want to be on the brake a whole lot.
You should be able to easily lock your front wheel at any speed with minimal effort. If you can't you might have oil on your brake pads or rotor.
If you really want to upgrade your brake system, get a quality master cylinder first IMO. A magura or brembo. That'll give you more feedback, and more stopping power.
IF you aren't fading your brake, no reason to go with a bigger rotor imo

Re: 600rr Rotor Question . . . .
they are expensive, they are everywhere though. They run around $200-$250 for the master alone.
I'm not sure what size is the best for front brakes, I'm thinking something like 18x19
Stock on mosts bikes is around 14-16mm bore, you want a 18mm or even a 20mm bore, but I'm not sure really. Make sure you research before you take my advice!
might even post up on a racing forum, not many stunters upgrade their front brakes
