well if this is your first bike and you plan on stunting / learnin to stunt then i suggest not throwin too much money into it - incase you wreck or screw something up while learning.

happens to everyone.

First bike? Want to stunt? Any of the ones you listed will serve your purpose. My suggestion, make sure it's used and cheap.

and any positives/negatives of the ones listed i.e. weak brakes, bad gearboxes, good for stunting, easy to learn on, easy to find........etc.

first off if you get a bike planning on doing crazy stuff on your probably going to hurt yourself. i would get what you like the best and feel good on. the r6 is narrow and feels like riding a ruler. the cbrs are nice and so is the zx6r. personally i like my gixxer. no matter what bike you get you'll be able to do wheelies and stoppies. some bikes you will just have to put a little more effort into the stunts.

How about get what you want...then learn to ride first, and you'll have less a chance of ****** it up when you start trying to wheelie and stoppie it
