gonna buy a bike 4 nothing but stunting
What would be the ideal bike...??? Right now I stunt a
kawi zx-12, and the tank is so fat that long stand up
wheelies are uncomfortable... its heavy and powerful, which
is great for 150mph wheelies, but now I want to get a bike
for dead slow stunts... parking lot stuff.
So what should I get for this slow stuff???

Re: gonna buy a bike 4 nothing but stunting
I'm just getting into stunting at slow speed... I'm real
good at high speed long wheelies. So I don't have any
pics of slow speed stunts as I suck right now.
The 12 is heavy, but it has tons of power. The biggest
problem is not the weight, but wide gas tank which makes
it hard to hold on with the knees. I do my wheelies
standing up... I've been trying slower sit down wheelies
and it's much harder to stay on the bike sitting with a
wide tank.
That's why I was asking what bike most guys use... I was
wondering also if a twin (like a suk TL) that has a lot
of low end torque, is better to stunt than a 4 cylinder.
My 12 is flawless right now... I hate to totally trash it....
But it's a 2002, worth maybe $6k or so... so I'm not going
to buy a new bike for $10k to save a $6k bike...
But I could buy a used 600 for say 2-3k that might already
have some rash on it... sooooo just wondering if there's
one bike most pros prefer....

The next thing that will come up is how fast they are...
well, I've run a t least a dozen in the past two years and
no busa has ever beat me in a drag... But I've never run
up against a turbo one...

Stunt what'cha got... if you can get a cage for it, run it into the ground... At least you'd be unique with the 12... Once you learn to clutch it up, and control the rear brake, you'll be pimp in no time. And those gas tanks are nice and wide for tankstands.
