first bike?
i've read through the forums and all, but not many people seem to have yamahas. i'm gonna get a bike this summer, and originally i wanted the r1, but after reading through the posts, the cbr 900 and 929 are on my list now. what would be better for stunting and why? i'm looking between the years 99-03. thanks for the help.

This is your first bike? 600...and don't worry about stunting yet...you're gunna kill yourself trying to stunt a liter bike as a first bike...600's are easily stuntable...learn to ride before you stunt.

). Joking aside, An R1 or any liter bike for that matter isn't a smart choice for a first bike. Definately get a 600 to start on, or smaller. On picking a bike, just remember anything above a 250 is faster than any car you're going to drive, you have to respect the power and performance, or you will eat it. Oh yeah, buy used......you'll thank me after the first time or more you drop it(once again, it happens to all of us, veterened or not).
