Question Learning to stunt on a 125, good or bad idea?

Well, I am close to buying a 2006 honda cbr 125 and because of law here i have to be riding for at least 6 mnths with a bike license, before i can get to ride anything over 250cc. So i was starting to ask some questions about learning to stunt on a 125cc and so far i was told that i would need to have clip ons adjusted to fit the bike properly, icon vest and the only difference between learning to stunt on a 125 or a 600 is the weight difference. what else would i need to learn to stunt on a 125, if it even makes sense to? I don't see anyone here doing stand up wheelies,only short distance sit down wheelies and never seen a dented tank. So i am assuming little to no stunters are located in Barbados. Thanks for replies,tips,squid comments,any replies are welcome to sum it up in one. link to bike in question to comment on specs, http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/hon...125_r_2006.php

Hi you can stunt a 125 no problems but I would say don't bother with a CBR125.. especially not a more expensive newer model.. get a cheaper Yamaha DT125 or similar, cheaper, much better for stunting and better for learning on, cheaper to buy and cheaper to fix!! that's what I'd do anyway...

man if you have to keep it to 250cc just go with an enduro. Something like a suzuki DR200. A friend of mine used to have one at his ranch its fun to ride in the dirt or on the street. It can wheelie a lil too.
