good stunt bike?

since i have some cash built up (roughly 6000$) im almost 16 yrs old and i want to get into stunting a street bike, if you dont know my background i race motocross in the 250 A class or commonly refered to as local Pro on my 2005 yz450f. im looking to buy a used bike preferbally a liter bike and i want it to be very common bike for replacement parts and such, as to my dropping it a lot, i know ill need frame slides and all that but whats a good bike... something like a 2001 cbr 954rr or a gsxr 600 04' mostly wheeling and doing stoppies not the 180mph runs. maby a 150 or so but no more than that. whats the weight on a bike, the both of them, does light weight make that much difference?

If you are looking for a bike that you can find parts a dime a dozen...go with a GSX-R.

GSXR 750 would be mine.

what about a cbr 600rr?

im no pro, but i dont think a 600 will give you what you want. Too much work. I say 750 because its just as light with more power.

how bout this.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-CBR-2000-CBR-929-MINT-F4I-636-954-R6-R1-900RR-NINJA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ49999QQitemZ4578350061QQrdZ1

Forget the frame sliders and go with a stunt cage...

Forget the frame sliders and go with a stunt cage... :iagree: you'll need that for sure if you are stunting!

900rr the motors in those things are bullet proof.

900rr the motors in those things are bullet proof. and they dont oil starve when you do 3 day wheelies.

They are the heavier of the bunch though. But not by much.

so looks like a cbr 954 is good or a 929rr? will a 600 power wheelie above 60mph if in the best gear... i sat on a 2005 gsxr 600 today @ the bike shop and man i think that bike is perfect in ergos and looks, im gonna get a hotbodies undertail exhaust on any bike i get and maby a power commander thing and that it 4 performance and i just want a fast bike with some stunting capabilities, i plan on having 2 bikes. perhaps a 750 would be right for me? http://i19.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/0a/00/49_2.JPG?set_id=7

Please don't buy a new bike for stunting! PLEASE! :dupe:

lol, i meant a new bike and then a 1990 cbr 600 for 1500 bucks and have two

Oic!

im sure you have at least 3 bikes.. right???

im sure you have at least 3 bikes.. right??? Who? I know you aren't talking to me... you better look at somebody with more money... like Jeeps! :dthumb:

Money??? Whats that??? You defiantly need at least two bikes if you plan on stunting one. Broken parts and down time are the norm for a stunter.

Not too mention most stunt bikes shouldn't even be on the open road!

id be planning to take my stunt bike to school most of the time and rarely drive the potential r1 or gixxer 1k

this kid is 16 like me and you guys jabbed at me for even whanting another bike and this kid plain stATES that he will be stunting..............now that thats out of the way bro you dont whant to get into it like that ..... i bought my bike not thinking i was going to stunt ...... 5 months later i got a ticket for doing a wheelie .... now my licence is susspended and i wrecked my bike so it looks worse now (still a badass bike lol) but it is dangerouse and 6 grand aint going to get you a 04 gixxer and all the gear you would need for doing power wheelies going 60 you get what i am saying ......... i am dam good on the dirt too (been riding since i was about 7 or 8) and you will see the diff. takes time to get to know your bike and if you jump into stunting you will kill yourself or least ruin your bike and loose your licence

Don't bother with getting a good bike and stunt it. Too much money wasted. Go to stuntlife.com and look for a stuntbike there. Most stunt bike won't be able to go past 120 with the gearing they run. plus you'll have to be extreme careful when riding on the street since one little crack of the throttle will loop it.

Good advise there beanz! Bull, I know but after dealing with you, most of us just gave up trying to talk sense into you youngens!

u dont need an powerful motor to stunt.......LARGE REAR SPROCKET is all u need.. a 50 HP bike with a 60 tooth rear sprokcket will wheelie VERY EASILY And yes put a crash cage on it.... And if u want a street bike too, get a 600... u get a Zx10R or a new GSX-R 1000 and u will have ASStronomical insurance rates at 16.... even with the 600s rate being big. Plus your gonna kill yourself on a new liter bike. Get the stunt bike for cheap, deck it out right to stunt... Stunt it for a while, then buy the street bike after u learn some skills on the stunt and take time to learn to corner right on it.

Good advise there beanz! Bull, I know but after dealing with you, most of us just gave up trying to talk sense into you youngens! :withstupi Just trying to keep the info real.

yeah, but i think its stupid that i allways get a lot of crap that a liter bike will put me on my ass, i think that a big load of :wbs: . considering i race a 60hp 450cc pretty much works motor yz450f dirtbike or dirt, letalone street, the power to weight ratio on my 450 is better than probally a literbike

ooops...^ umm yeah i guess any bike will do as long as its newer than 2000 and at least a 600 for my first bike, preferbally a 954rr for a cheap one, mostly. i forgot to mention im going to be doing mostly higher speed stuff like whellies and there dierevitiaves and a lot of crusing

youve got another thing comming if u think the power of a worked over YZF450 will come CLOSE to even touching a 160HP at the wheels bike that weights 100lbs more and has 100 more HP..... 0-60 in 2 seconds doesnt happen by just pinning the throttle.. it takes a pro to do it.... The 600's will also wheelie VERY EASILY...... the Zx10 will put u on your ass in the first two gears at any speed.... the new bikes that do 100mph in first will not be the way to go... id be willing to bet a paycheck that if i started on one i wouldnt be typing today... nor would most of the guys here. Theyll Verify for that... and if u wanna ask someone in your shoes.. listen to Bull... he was looking at a way more powerful bike when we told him to check the Sv650.... im sure hes glad he idnt get a more powerful one now, and he gave us all the " im mature and wont F it up" speech too.

I give up trying to tell anybody what they should or should not start on. Regardless of their experience. Now if they ask, I just give my opinion and that's it. Most have already made their mind up before asking any way. So for the record my recommendation is to find a used 600cc or less to learn on. After you get very very comfortable with that. Get what ever your heart and wallet can afford. :2cents:

Good point Jeeps! But don't worry Scott... he will have insurance and can join the rest of the newbies wadding up their bike in the first 2 months and support the reason why sportbikes are so very hard to insure! :sorry: Moto... but somebody has to be the devil's advocate!

Don't go thinking your chopper will be that much cheaper!

Id bet money that a new GSX-R1000 goes down inside two monthes... even if he just drops it in his driveway and gets to replace the 200$ blinker/Mirrors on day 4.. Waht do u say 20$ lol If i knew em personally id be able to make the bet since id be able ot see the bike, cuz he ownt tell us when he does it. On that note.. i rode with a 17 yo guy on a GSXR750 the other night.. he was riing stand up wheelies in traffic for almost a mile at a time... when he gets caught ( not if but when) they will take his license till 18 and sell the bike at auction.. lien on it or not. And ya gas, u gotta get off that chopper trip.... take the 80,000$ a decent custom would cost and pay down on your Casa.

Don't go thinking your chopper will be that much cheaper! Its only $10 more a month which isn't bad going from a $10K 900cc bike that is worth $5K-$6K to a $30K+ 1900+cc bike! Not bad I think!

Its only $10 more a month which isn't bad going from a $10K 900cc bike that is worth $5K-$6K to a $30K+ 1900+cc bike! Not bad I think! Thats $120 a year more. My Gixxer is still more :scratch: .

What? I know how much more a year but it only makes it like $600 a year full coverage!

What? I know how much more a year but it only makes it like $600 a year full coverage! $950 a year on both for me. SF

Not bad...but aren't you like... old! :lol: :sorry: Jeeps you had that comin! :lol:

you are a tard .... you said earlier that you wouldent be doing high speed stuff it would all be low speed bull...there are times when people do faster stunts also! :bonk:

bull...there are times when people do faster stunts also! :bonk: did i say there wasent :bonk: i said HE said he wasent planning on doing high speed stunts...... well now he just said he IS planning on it...................kid you are just hyped up like i was ....... i could have died when i wrecked ........just get it to ride or dont get it at all if you are just going to show off

Sounds like Bull got a serious dose of reality check.

Don't worry Bull, you're ok!

so all the talk about buying a stuntbike....but no stuntbike. a common story.

I dunno for my ninja I paid $287 for the whole year. And im 20 with a pretty bad record, had my lisence suspended for 3 months, and countless run ins with the law. Not all were really bad things but my insurance is pretty low I think.

so all the talk about buying a stuntbike....but no stuntbike. a common story. Talk about reviving a freaking old thread and being a smart ass in it.

At least it's better than a lot of other :wbs: I see people posting about...

As in anytime some one asks a question you get a bunch of smart assed remarks and scarcasm. Just like any forum has its people it just has more than anyother one imo. TWF is deff the best forum ive come across hope it stays that way.

We should make a big test that tells you your personality like 5-10 question to acurately determin your personality. Last thing you want to be is going thru life fat drunk and stupid, and being an arsehole on top of that, wow that could really f u up and every one you meet.

I was saying that if you are constently thinking everyone around you is an azzhole (ie. everyone is on your case), maybe you should start taking a look in the mirror... Odds are, they are normal... and you're the azzhole. Capiche?

Nvm. I was trying to be funny. yeah I gotcha

You know at some point in time you have to ask yourself... Are all these people really azzholes, or am I the azzhole.:2cents: i'd lick some *******....like angelina jolie....

I like that pic

i'd lick some *******....like angelina jolie.... I think she is gross... I just want to wash her...

16year old going to a 600cc off the bat? Insurance will go higher than the bike you will be riding..

16year old going to a 600cc off the bat? Insurance will go higher than the bike you will be riding.. :iagree:

it will be minimal coverage.... im 23 and still cant afford full coverage on my bike, not paying $1,000+ a year for it at 23. i figure after 25 i'll see, then depending if i get a new bike or have a 6 year old bike, then why bother paying for full.

insurance depends on your company. i've had no less than 2 bikes in my garage since age 18 and i've put full coverage on them both. right now i pay 748 a year full on my 05 636 and 189 a year full on my f4i. i'm only 24 still.....next year will be even better! oh ya, it's indiana state farm insurance.

im no pro, but i dont think a 600 will give you what you want. Too much work. I say 750 because its just as light with more power. Your crazy, id put to shame most of the 750-1k guys what I can do with my old cbr.

Just to give my :2cents: on this. Buy something USED! This bike will get smashed up and skratched all to hell. I have a listing of stuff that you will need once you buy the bike. If you want me to, I can PM you the list, since it is quite long...or if people want me to put it up here, I can do that too. Just lemme know! And as for bikes, I will have to go with the Yamaha r6. It has worked GREAT for me!

gearing on a stunt only bike makes power a non issue.

State Farm really does come through. We use them for all of our bikes and cars. They will really help when you smash somethin up ;)

onlything they gave me was a quote double the price of progressive

onlything they gave me was a quote double the price of progressive then you need to re-evaluate. progressive wanted over 3 grand a year to insure my bike....i pay 752$ full coverage a year for my 05 636 through state farm. progressive was almost triple on every vehicle i had when i thought about switching. i didn't do it over the net either, actually went and sat down with a person and got my rates that way.....screw progressive. and you don't need a 750 to stunt....600's work fine. it's not a power issue. when a bike is balanced the power isn't holding it up.....so really there isn't any more power involved other than getting it up there and it just takes a little skill to do that. you can blame it on gearing, but i know that's not the case because i do the same stuff on my completely stock 636 that i do on my f4i stuntbike.

lol this thread transcends time and space... OSP is right bout being an *******. the second i realized what a dick i am, was the second i was able to stop being such a dick :wink:... most of the time.

DaYum, I've always prided myself on being a ******* :idk:

Wow this Forum is old hahahah anyhow Dude i have a ZX10 and all i can say is good luck stuntin it if your not experienced i had it for 3 months most of the boyz i ride with stunt ya i can ride wheelies on it but with out killing ur self goodluck they have so much power they just want to pick up speed soon as u pull it up.... even if u drop down to 8lbs in the back tire and hit balance point and try to ride the brake its still pullin. on top of that ull try to do Power-wheelies super simple on a zx10 just snap the throttle 1st thru 4th and it will pull right up and then ur going to flip your self over and say good buy to that 10gran bike. i regret buying my zx10 ya its fun but i shoulda bout another 750 or 600... they can take turns harder faster there just all around fun the only good thing for 1000's is there great for runin from pigz.... insurance sucks ballz on them i have a clean Record and i have liability on it and its 154 a month...... get a 600 cheaper on insurance and learn to clutch em up and not power wheelie and hurt ur self. not saying i hate my bike i love the zx10 i just wish i bought a 600 for what i do with it.....

im 20 yrs old and i know that the liter bikes are very appealing to young people who for the most part lack the experience to handle one. i have a R1 and i love the bike but i regret not getting a 600 or 750 to start, i jumped from a 1100 cruiser to my liter bike and the change was scary to say the least and i am very lucky to still be alive. it sounds like you have alot of experience in the dirt which is good but the power of a 1000 is too much for alot of experience riders to handle let alone a young person like you. from my personal experience i would suggest starting with a 600 because they are fast enough anyway and work up to the larger bikes if you feel the need too that way you have time to hone your skill on the street.
