Stunnin 600's?????
How many people here stunn on a 600?? I was thinking about getting a new bike and thought a new 600 might be pretty good for stunnin, they would sound really cool hittin the rev limiter at 15,500 in a burny, they are hella light compared to a 900rr or a r1, less power for easier smoother slow wheelie's. when I drop my **** it will be easier to pick up, just over all lighter and easier to throw around, the downfalls I could forsee, harder to do highchair wheelie's n tricks that require more power, smaller tank for highchair stunts and feet over stoppies n burny's etc... I dont know how they stoppie but it couldnt be worse than a r1, so far I have been checking the zx-6 and zx6rr, R6, and the new honda but it has a pipe in the back which might make it hard for 12's, what do you guys think, the 900rr cant be the best forever it would be cool to find a bike that would be better for stunnin.

I stunt a six.I would like alittle more power but I don't really complain.Like papa kev said you tank wheelies with stock gearing are limited to 1st gear....I geared mine out so I can get them in second.Another thing to think about though,you are killer with the combos...with a six IMO combos are alittle harder.You have to have a six at the balance point the whole time...if the front end drops alittle it lacks the power to bring it back up like a liter bike.For example...going from a flaming to a tank wheelie,you have to be smooth and at the point.Other wise it tends to want to drop.Just a few things to think about...other than that I think it's phat to stunt a six.

<------check the avatar. I use to stunt a FZR600. Like everyone else said, you have to do tanks and highchairs in first. Now that I have my 900RR though, I don't think I could go back to a six. I rode my boys gixxer 600, which use to feel powerful to me, now feels like a toy. But you do get more respect for pulling the same **** on 6-hun.

If you want long endos get a kawi ZX6r. Todd Colbert just bought one to break the record for the longest endo at 670 feet. He is going for 700 feet. I have old F2 two down in the front two raised in the back and I can stand it up in third. I can also do tank wheelies in second.

So far everything that has been said is on track...only thing id be worried about for you also is your combos because you do have to be in balance point all the time or front will drop and rev out your gear. Stunting an R6 i wouldnt say its the best idea just like it moves around alot on the track and is "twitchy" seems like it does the same with stunting. zx6r is the best stunt 600 in my eyes i have buddies that stunt both that and f4i's . Ive only stunted an R6 though so what can i talk 
. Im 2 teeth down in front and 2 up in back clutch everything up in 2nd and you can still get good length on highchairs and such...but yes you HAVE to be in balance point. The only reason i stunt mine is cus it happened to be my first bike haha.

What everyone else said is right on the money. Everything on a 6 is cool, except long *** wheelies are a bitch. You have no room to play with and have to be stuck in your balance point to carry any distance. You could still bust some sick combo's but your going to have to shift a lot. My 6R right now is 1 down 2 up and I can clutch up second gear high chairs no problem. 3rd gear clutch up sit down and standups are easy too. I'm going 10 up in the rear right now for 12's so I'm guess I'll just be playing in 3rd and 4th from now on for long ****.

im down one tooth in the front.... and i did all the same **** on stock gearing..
600's are already geared real low... i can creep a wheelie at about 5-6 mph chuggin my bike along in 1st at 1500-2000 rpms... almost stalling it out... but im going so slow that the bike just wants to tip over... so i guess gearing it wouldnt help much unless you want it to be easy to get it up ??
i dunno i never tried really gearing it but 1 down and stock work for me my .02
