Here i am again folks lol. Ok i ditched the idea of getting the cbr600 now lol the cause is obvious.
BUT lol
i want a good cheap bike that would be good to practice burnouts, wheelies and endos on, no crazy shit. You know to get me started. Dont tell me its dangerous because NO SHIT, gotta start off somewhere. So does anyone have any ideas? Would that ninja 250cc be good to practice on and learn the concrete jungle on at the same time?

You type like a 12 year old on AOL for the first time. If your ability to type is any indication of your mental ability, stick to Honda Sprees

The 250 might not be good for stunting since it has little power, a 500 might be ok. BUT, it may be more important to just ride for about a year before even trying to stunt. In such a case, the 250 might be ok, then go ahead and buy a 600 and start practicing a few stunts. All this is pure speculations since I don't stunt anyway, cornering is where it's at!

Gotcha, thnx

if your 18 and buying a bike to stunt you should buy whatever you will enjoy riding for a few months before you total it. Dont spend too much, and be sure to post pictures of your wreck and road rash

I definately will...nice to see so much confidence.

I wouldn't get the 250. I'd go for a 1984 GPZ750 Turbo or maybe a '05 Ural Gear Up.

Easy now people ..............

fiveninerzero · 04-25-2005, 05:59 PM

Can you move this to the stunt section so old boy wont get flamed please

fiveninerzero · 04-25-2005, 06:04 PM

ideally a dirt bike is the best way to learn, but a 600 cc sportbike would work, just be careful, don't be scared to lay down

The dudes above are right too about learning how to ride a bike before trying to wheelie it

snigg · 04-25-2005, 06:06 PM

older cbr600(f2/f3/f4/f4i) are best for cheap stuntbikes. i wouldnt bother w/ a 250 or 500 for stunting bud

Yes people calm your freakin nutts. Some ride because they want to race and go to the twisty and the tracks, other just want to stunt. No need to justify why a person wants a bike. Its their choice.

To answer the question.

I would suggest to take the MSF first to learn the basics of riding. After that I say get an older model bike. I got a 97 F3 as my first bike. Its doable if you aint an over confident ass-squid who wont take advice and take your time to really learn how to ride.

I say take a few months (3-4 riding almost everyday) before you even try to stunt. Try to learn how to ride properly and how to perform emergency manuervers first. It will come in handy if you screw up trying to stunt. If you don't know how to brake properly, you won't be able to save yourself when you try to stunt.

I've been trying to learn how to wheelie but still can't get it right. There has been times when I've scared my self and I stopped trying for that day.

IMO I think an F3 will be ok as a starter if you honestly want to learn how to ride properly before you try to stunt. It has plenty of power so you won't get tired and not enough that you'll accidently flip the bike.

I could easily loop my 600 KATANA with all 70-ish WHP if I really wanted to do the damage, and you're saying that a 97 CBR F3 with at least 50% more HP at the wheels isn't enough for an inexperienced rider to do it because they don't know what they're doing?
