whatever you do please please don't get a 600 in two weeks you'll want something bigger - I've done it and can't count how may others have done the same thing. Suzuki - GSXR 750, Honda - 929 or 900rr, Yamaha - R1, Kawi - ? These should be your choices if you want to stunt, just depends on your style.

As your first crotch rocket to stunt I'd prolly suggest an F4i.

Re: Buying A Bike: Which One?

get whatever you can find a good deal on, ive had my 02 R6 for 2 years now, and still wont get rid of it. You can always jet your 600 n **** for a lil extra power down the road. You can still rock shiat on a 600, just go for a newer 600. ~nick

Re: Buying A Bike: Which One?

I like my F4i, I had an F2 before this and I am still happy with my decision to buy my F4.

I have a full M4 exhaust with stock gearing and it's a fairly good bike to stunt with for a beginner. Eventually you will probably want something bigger but I think a 600 is plenty for a beginner.

I agree w/ the latter. Your learning a whole new type of riding and a 600 now days is enough. Alot of guys are stunting 600's. How about a 636? few guys stunting those and seem to like them.

Go big!

If you get a bike that is too small and not so powerful you will get tired with it. Plus I kind of like heavier bikes they stay more stable and balance well...if they are powerful heavy bikes. Just Gear it...BAM....wheelie machine.

how much do you have to spend? Do you want a new, used, or a crunchy bike? If I were you I would get a Crunch bike so then you dont have to worry about screwing it up...if your serious about stunting. Then you just go to a parking lot, practice practice practice, sell the junker get a nice stunting machine, and go flex the skills!!!
F4I
GSXR 750!
CBR929!
GSX 1K

Re: Buying A Bike: Which One?

5-10 lbs makes no difference. Get an F4i!

A 1000 won't kick your ***. As long as you ride within your limits and take it easy until you get a good feel for the bike you'll be fine. A happy medium is a GSXR 750 - that's what I ride and with a few aftermarket parts and a gear change you can make it just as powerful if not more.
