Can anyone tell me which is the best bike for beginners F4i or Kwack 636 and which year is best ?.

I currently have an old nail of a Honda CBR 600,1989 model for learning on. Its good but it's a bit tired and I'm after something newer that is still road registered. I'll be buying a damaged repairable as I'm not that arsed about fairings etc as long as its straight and I can get it sorted.

I'm selling my 04 R1 as I've been bitten by the stunt bug big time so anyone who's after one e-mail me.

Thanks

Clunatic:YEAH

 

am in the same boat just bought a cheap 636 but not sure it is ideal for learnin on

 

I spoke to Birdie about the 636 05 or 06 that he's just bought, and i explaned that they are not a good bike to learn on. When your learning you will brake things and do a lot of damage. I know the 636's are good stunt bikes, but only if you are above average stunter ie: bp wheelies and trottle control, scarping at will.
They have weak wheels, pegs, sub frames and fairings.

Best bikes to learn on are fuel injected bikes that are a few years old so parts are easy to find and cheaper. f4i's are good bikes or even CB500's.

Or my stunt ready gsxr 600 with **** loads of spares


I'm not trying to put you off or get you to buy my bike, but only now (after 2 years of stunting and bin able to do circles and idle tricks) am i looking for a 05-06 636 to stunt, and i'm still worried i'm gona brake it.

 

F4I all the way

i remember wanting to sell mine when i started to stunt and Lee was like why....?
as they are the bench mark bike....
my todo list is still pretty long and i need the hondas strength as i ride and stunt .... ie no van..
mine has put up with soooooo much ahem... educational discipline.....
plus... i like the f4i's looks

but any bike can be made / modded to be stronger.... longer ...and softer...

 

by lee's bike clu. im not trying to sell if for him but its a really good bike and lots of spares that you will deffo need. plus it,ll save alot of time and money on cages and bars and ****.

 

neither

a crf50 or ttr50

teaches you everything you need to learn about brake and throttle control then jump on the big bike

something like this would suit you fine. and save you 1000's

 

+1, but if you must f4i can take more of a beating imo

 

totally agree.
Or though id say a chinese pit bike as it has a clutch.
If it wasnt for pitbikes id of smashed this cbr to pieces (or i wouldnt even have one)
I jumped on to the cbr, and towards end of day i was doing good high wheelies but just with throttle chop.

Id say f4i and a pitbike:YEAH

 

so not the o6 r6 im might be buying

 

Only ever heard of 2 people to stunt an R6, not so great IMO

 

R6 = JUNK

 

thanks fellas track bike it is then

 

I think its going to be a F4I they seem to be the weapon of choice and i no Hondas take quite a bit of ****.

Anyone want an 04 R1 1 carefull owner lol

 

Whatever you can buy and fix cheap is the best choice, good luck finding an F Sport for less than £2k

 

best bike in the world for beginners......

 

What's up with the R6's? are they just too weak - I've got an '03 as a shiney road bike (I don't really stunt it..too much) and it feels real nice and light compared to the F4i

but +1 on the pit bike - when I was learning the fine tuning of back brake it helped loads - also learnt a lesson about not changin gear whilst at BP on my pit bike that would have really fukin hurt on the CBR. it might be small but still wear ur gear.

 

I'm buying another CB500 for stunting, cos my new Cb is too nice to wreck Who'd of thought I'd say that then?!!!

 

Hi Carlos, an F4I on a 2001 went for £1700 on e-bay last week couple of scrapes but was still a rd bike with MOT etc, thats cheap as f**k really theres also one in the trader web-site for £1600 ONO with light damage 01706713680 if anyone's interested.

 

Or buy my stunt ready gsxr

Buy an f4i and you'll need bigger gearing, oil pick up, cage, 12 bar or round bar, tip over switch, the lot.

Mine has all that and more for £1800

 

if i had 1800 id bite your hand off bro
got a bit of good work coming my way and i might have it if you still have it
