Stunting with a 2002 or 2003 R1

I was wondering if anyone can give some advice, pros or cons or personal experience stunting with a 2002 or 2003 R1.

I got to borrow a friends for about 10 min once, was very smooth, and since I ride a yamaha anyways(mind you it'd been 3 months though)......the R1 felt very natural for me even with the increased power over my 95' YZF 600R

thats all I stunt on...i have had 2 r1's and awaiting #3 a blue 2004. Its is easier to find a balance point for slow wheelies on an r6.

i say honda cause the motors are stout.

but for stuntbikes, anything you are comfortable on. it's just easier on a honda or gixxer because there are more parts availible which is a big plus for what we are doing with them.

The R1 also has a 1 piece frame/subframe so if you brake the subframe you gotta weld it back together.
