I would like a few opinions on this before i get my bike.

Re: Stunting A Stock Bike?
I like stock but I dont really stunt I just like to do wheelies, But Im sure thats what a lot of people said, then they mastered it and felt the need for more. If you want to do circles, stoppies, H/C, seat standers etc... Buy a stunt bike Not much sence in buying a nice stocker and cutting it up or messing it up. Get a good deal on a stuntbike. It'll save you some money and If you loop it or dump it it probably wont get messed up as bad. If you want to do simple stuff like normal or stand up wheelies then by a fiddy and a nice bike take your time and learn brake control and BP and You can be a pretty rider and ride wheelies and other simple stuff. Just my

Re: Stunting A Stock Bike?
First i want to thank all of you that responded and i think i have made my descision. First i will stunt a stock bike so i can learn to wheelie and maybe i will try to take it to levels that haven't been seen yet like rocking slow and high high chairs or some other crazy tricks i really want to get good at endos too so ill stay stock and then when i have gotten to the point where i cant get any better that the bike is holding me back i will go with the sprockets; maybe two down in the front, very mild so i can still ride street.
then in a year or 2 i will go full stunt.
thanx 4 da advice

I like what the others said dont let others make decisions for you. B. I learned idle up on a stock bike but its hard and well not worth it to me i want the ease of having the trick under my belt then jumping on a stock bike and killin it.

Re: Stunting A Stock Bike?
If your gonna stay stock and buy a 600 I'd gear it -1/+2. It will help you get it up a little easier w/out being to twitch and you wont lose much tope end for the streets. But it will give you a little bit of engine brake incase you havent got the bracke control down good yet. I went that sprocket setup on my 6R and loved it more torque rocked 3rd gear wheelies alot better and I only lost 10mph on my top end. The bike still went 148. How fast u need to go? ITs a good balance power/torque and engine brake.

Re: Stunting A Stock Bike?
I ride a stock geared f4i and I think theres no harm stayin stock. it def makes u learn throttle control and consistancy...but u do have to use alot of throttle to get the bike up real slow. but dont be a douche and do ur own thing.
