Question what should I buy???

I wanna buy a stunt bike. I have a 00 gix 750 and it is my baby. I dont wanna trash it and I am gettin good at balancing (not 12) and I can roll a endo like...20 ft. The main thing that is holding me back from getting better is I dont want to trash my bike. so my question is... what compalints does anyone have with their stunt bike.. is 600 big enough? .....should I keep looking for something with FI or is carb'ed ok.. I want to 12 the bike without it dieing and I didn't know if anyone has any trouble out of a carb bike. I seriously want to get better at this. thanx btw price range is 2500 or less and a days drive from southern Indiana if anyone has a good deal. Can be insurance claim or pre stunted I dont care as long as it runs. thanx again

Re: what should I buy???

I actually like my 600, pretty forgiving, and with a few mods, it has *****.

PS, not to imply that I'm a master stunner of nuthin'

Re: what should I buy???

f2 or f3 would be ideal, You find them alot here. They are usually most common, but your bike is a nice stunter as well. 900 rr is also a very popular stunt bike as well.

What I would do if I were you,

Keep stuntin your bike until u come acrooss a sweet deal then pick up a diff stunter.. Just have fun..

Just rock your gixxer :YEAH Don't worry about scratching it. You can always buy another one. One of my first stunters was a f2 though. Like cookiemonster said, they are great beginner stunt bikes and you can pick one up cheap and replacement parts are dirt cheap and everywhere. Hondas run forever also!

Only thing though... If you do get an F3, stick a pipe on it and go... ehhh... about -1 +5 should help you wheelie alot. Trust me... stock F3's are a bitch! Or atleast mine was... I could only get the front end to pop up at a roll of 5 mph, and a DUMP of the clutch at 10k rpm. Little too high for me, but the sprockets did bring it down :YEAH

Re: what should I buy???

:YEAH :YEAH :YEAH buy a twin...cause TWIN-IS-IN !!! :YEAH :YEAH :YEAH They are not expensive, but have awesome torque. I read about guys getting the F2/F3 up and how in second gear..Hell I just tap the cluch on my SV at 3k and it's up. Back torque is great too, especially when you start to go over your ballance point. Ask anyone stuntin' a twin...heck , I'll ask for you
