SITE UPDATE: What's the Best Stunt Bike
Im working on a major site overhaul and I need your help!!
One of the original pages from the site is STUNT BIKES... its about what the best stunt bikes are and why. The page id to help out newcomers when deciding on a bike to buy. Please check out the page and add anything in this thread that could be useful. Everything written there so far is just from my knowledge of riding my bike and my friends bikes.
I want to be as detailed as possible. Here is the page. Check it out.

Thanks so much for all your help

I would say the GSXR line except for the 600 and 750 is a frame cracking piece. I haven't rode the 1000 for very long, but if the frame holds up like they say they do I would have to say rock the 1000.

Other than the weak sub-frame (that can be strengthened) the 1000 is perfect. Tons of power, light, stong like bull......and parts are EVERYWHERE, so dont get one because I like being able to find parts for myself!!!

i have a 1k so im biased ,but i like the power delivery straight raw.
ive ridden new 900,929 it just seems like a totally different animal i cant get comfortable stunting on them .i think its the crank plac3ement .the 1k feels heavier because of the motor set up but with the power it seems to be just right.the 9 feels to light and unstable to me

i say that the 900rr is the best because if you are going to stunt and wreck it why not get an older bike that is cheap to buy, cheaper to fix and not nice and shiny off the showroom floor. you could probably buy three for the price of one shiny piece. as well there arent many bikes that nave everything that the 900 has to offer in thier perspective model years ( 919 model years ). plus its a honda so you cant lose.:devil

Never met or heard of anyone who stunts one. TLs... I know Cory from the D-Aces stunts a TLS and T-Bone from OLX stunts a TLR. Both very impressive riders.

Don't Gregg and Sherry out of Texas stunt on a Superhawk? I saw a couple at Stuntwars in January stunting a Superhawk and thought it was these two, but I could be wrong. I also know that the Brazilians stunt a GS500 or an EX500 pretty damn well too. He would be the only though...at least that I know of.
929 is my weapon of choice. Endos are just too easy on this thing. Things might really get wild if I had some Gorka bars, a Scotts, and braided lines. Not knocking Gorka...that's the best use of those bars I've ever seen.

900rr
I would have to vote for the 900rr.
They are cheap to buy and fix. Easy to work on
Parts are everywhere.
The have a real good power to wieght ratio which makes it easy to control wheelies and find the balance point.
They stoppie like a mother****er.
They look bad ***.
They take a beating.
What else is their.

Im somewhat biased on my opinion as well, but i have absolutly no problems with my gsxr600, of course i dont get it up in the back for more than 10-20 ft, but I've only begun stunt'n up here in the hills. The pre-01 gsxr's have the broadest powerband, and if you create a 600, with 7fiddy front forks and brakes, and modify the floats a little, you can stunt it as easy as anything else out there.....except a cr80!!
