Prospect in England

Hi everyone, I just joined the forum as I would like to start practising; I have a K1200S '05, but I need to but a stunt bike. I wanted a SV650, but I have read that it's not ideal for wheelies as its engine will burn. Any suggestion for a lightweight (and cheap) bike to start stunting? Anyone in Surrey to join me?

i started of on a bandit 600 they come along cheep and as i wasnt gunna keep it on the back wheel for a long time just learning to get it up it seemed an alright bike i put a 48 sprocket on back and a 13 front to help, they are reliable bikes they do weigh abit tho.

Thanks for the reply. I have had two Bandit 600 '96 and '97 and I loved them, but yet, as you said, it is really heavy; any other bike you would recommend?

I'd go with the zx636 b1h or c1h that's what I ended up with and as I have a local Kawasaki deal I can get parts easy from them

Wow, the 636 is 161kg! I didn't realise it was so light! I'm considering it (it's a bit too powerful and the position is not ideal, but I might not find anything that cheap with that weight).
