gsxr1000 To stunt. Or not?

I have a gsxr 1000 . People tell me that the bike is not a good bike to stunt. What do you think?

me i would cause i like the bigger bikes for highway wheelies and stuff but it depends on how long you've been riding. alot of stunters are going with the smaller bikes cause they are easier to control. you can stunt on a gsxr 1000 but hopefully you've been riding for a while cause thats a powerful bike. i feel it all adds up to what your comfortable with.

Re: gsxr1000 To stunt. Or not?

yeah a 600 is definitely less touch on the throttle but as long as you take your time and get used to your 1000 you'll realize you can stunt anything, its all about control

keep the stock pads but bleed the fluid out and redo it with some 500degree dot5 stuff.

Re: gsxr1000 To stunt. Or not?

If your handbrake is spongey or soft then you probably have air in the line.

Re: gsxr1000 To stunt. Or not?

I am going to get a second bike to play on, I have a 05 gsxr 1k and it is real touchy on the throttle to learn wheelies on.. what do you guys think about a back up bike.. I am looking at the 06 r6 or 600rr
