Re: <---- best stuntbike poll ---->
F4i with a 929 or 954 front end is the best bike for pure stunting ever. Great to toss around in the lot, highway capable, fu(king awesome for stoppies! The subframe is sturdy, its fuel injected, the whole thing is over all pretty durable. The only downside to them is the forks, but once you swap them out, its all gravy. I guess the fact that its a 600 is a downside if you have to run...... I am looking for a 954 to keep pretty stock to ride around and kill the streets on. There's something about them...........

f4i with the 929 forks, clipons,triple tree, wheel, brake, etc. The 929 front end is phenomonal for stoppies, but liter bikes arent the best for parking lot riding. F4is are the best parking lot bike in my opinion along with alot of other people's. They are capable of highway stuff, but not the best in that department, and I can admit that I really want to get a 954 in addition to my f4i, just to ride the streets with.

I've got more questions though. Why would an f4i not come stock with a damper? It helps for stunting but doesn't it also just help for steering and turning? and does the zx6 come with a damper?

Re: <---- best stuntbike poll ---->
F4i's came kinda prior to honda putting dampers on 600's. Hell, I dont think the 600rr's come with dampers yet.???not sure..... Anyway, why would they put a damper on a bike that they put the lower quality forks on in the first place? Yes a damper helps in general riding, like when you accelerate, and the front end gets light, the tire can flop around without one, and it helps with high speed stability in general. I am not sure about the zx6, but I want to say the 636's come with them, but I cant back it up with solid info, sorry....

the R6 is a terrible stunt bike. i suppose it is good to learn on at first for gettin used to wheelies. because the balance point is so far back and so narrow too. too hard to keep in the air.
i did like the F4i. nice balance point. but im buying a 954, so ill let you know how that works out.

The first time I let go of the handlebars on my ninja they just started shaking and wobbling but with the gixxer its no problem at all. It seems to me that they should just have a damper come stock because its just safer

I have a friend who has a 600rr and he just used a heat gun to melt the plastic and then shaped it. He's a pro stunter and it seams to be working great for him.
