Does ANYONE stunt a VTR1000 Super Hawk

I am just curious what you think of this bike. V-twin power and feels real nimble (not bulky). Does anyone stunt one? Thank you.

there were a few pics in the first issure of super streetbike of a guy on a blue/yellow VTR1000 stuntbike. no idea who it was. I used to have one. the front brakes are a far cry from 929 brakes but they are a damn torquey light bike that is a riot to ride. would make a great stuntbike i bet

Wheelie Steve with Evasive Actions stunts one, usually with his girl Amanda (Cat) on it with him.

I have ridden one a few times and have done some decent wheelies on it. Never got enough seat time to really get good on it though. Comes up really easy in first just with a roll on. I rolled it up in second a couple of times but never got it real high. I still prefer the four banger power though. The 1k is a beast.

I have a SuperHawk but I'm not really much of a stunner. I've pulled a couple of wheelies on it, mostly on accident though. The bike has a lot of torque and the front wheel really likes to come off the ground.
btw, I'm selling mine if you're interested!

I had one till Sat, when ALL my bikes got ruined. You'll see the pics of that later, anyway I thought it rode great wheelies. Very easy to learn on. The linear power curve makes it a breeze to get comfortable on one wheel with. Pull it up in second without the clutch and you can just ride.
It was the bike of my dreams too a couple years ago, now it's trash. I think I see a 900rr in my future.

I had one, il second that on the brakes are terrible, and if you do buy one, its a lot of work trying to resell it, not many people want the bike.

wheelies sooooo easy. brakes do suck though. have to be careful on the stoppies though. the brakes are like wood( even with steel braided lines).

Ha, ha, shouldn't be mean. This is my dad on his VTR 1000 (they're called a Fire Storm in NZ). He's just started learning wheelies at 50. Must admit he's getting pretty good now. I've ridden his bike quite a few times and it is an easy and fun bike to ride/wheelie.

Thanks guys. I picked one up cheap and have enjoyed riding it. It wheelies very easy and stoppies aren't bad on it at all. It's a good stepping stone to get to the bike I want. I appreciate all the responses and help. Happy stunting...
