1990 CBR600 good or bad?

not sure if this is right place to post this but here is my question... i ran into a 90 CBR600 for around $1000. im new at stunting streetbikes but can rock a fiddy pretty good. does this bike make a good paking lot beater for a newbie? lookin to do slow stunts mainly in parking lots with an occasional freeway wheelie. dont want to spend a ton of money since it will spend most of its time bouncing off the pavement. let me know what u guys think. thanx!!

Is that an F1? It's gonna be heavy and slow. Look at some of the deals on here for much better stunt bikes.

heavy and slow. You could spend another $500-1000 and get a good f3 stunt bike.

F1, F2, and F3 all weigh exactly the same. 407 pounds dry. i think the engine is different however. arent sprockets the key to the slow stunt door?

Re: 1990 CBR600 good or bad?

I bought my F3 for $1500 and it only has 10k miles on the clock and it wasn't a stunt bike. It just looked like crap cuz it was laid down and the guy didn't know or want to fix it. Runs perfect and was all stock except the exhaust. Now its perty. Just got to know where to look and look hard enough. Plus I had to drive to alabama to get it, but it was worth it. Good deals are out there, just gotta keep looking.

Heres mine before and after(or after and before, whatever):

I kinda liked the way it was before, kinda streetfighterish. Looks good both ways though.
