Help, Im looking for my first bike...

first my riding experience, dirt bikes since i was 3 I now ride a '99 CR125 and am very good at stuntin on it, I was thinkin along the lines of a mid to late 90's 600 to stunt on (is a 750 too big), i test rode a 99 ZX6R and didnt like it (felt like a piece), a 00 GSXR 600 and was very impressed and a 94 CBR 600 and only found it to be descent. Oh one last thing Im kinda small, but Im tough, 5'3'' and 135lbs.....any help would be greatly appreciated.bikes that you liked/didnt like or bikes to stay away from, whatever,
thanx

6R's rule!!!

its all preference whatever floats your boat. I'll agree on the Gixxer750. try an F4i or something as well.

dude, get a honda. they last for a long time.

we just went and picked up 2 more f2's for our team. they last long, take abuse, and there are TONS of cheap parts on ebay for them.

i almost like those f2's and older 600's than i do my 929. they're just so fun.
