I just bought an 01 r1 worth the money and thought I might stunt it for a while. I figured it would be awsome for the highway, but I did not know about slow stuff. Anyone have an opinion, it would help.

 

there is one guy who does he'll post up after im sure..

 

i used to have a 2000 r1 and loved it. Not the best for slow ****, but it can be done.

 

Right hurr.


It's allright. I like the 1000 power. Until I'm into some really advanced ****, I don't think I'll do the 600 thing.


Tank is a ***** to dent.
Subframe is welded on.
weak upper and fairing in general.

 

there he is lol i couldn;t think of your SN haha

 

I would have posted up sooner, but it was actually warm enough to ride today.

There will be another dude stuntin one around here soon. Guy is looking to get started but nobody will buy his minty '01. Blue/white with 5500kms and he can't get $6000 CDN for it. I think he's ordering the cage/bar/sprocket soon.

 

Pics of mine now and back in the day.

 

how about.........S.I.U......the entire vid was nothin but old R weezy's...

 

What gearing is on your r1? Have you had any problems with your subframe?

 

10 up and nope.

 

R1's are impossible to stunt.

 

na, anything can be stunted.. darius rocks his Show R1 all the time..

 

i wanna try n r1

 

Have to get used to them...Friend of mine was doing real good on a stock 99 R1 and then went to a ZX10 to a 954 and his wheelies are GAABAGE now...he said the ZX was too fast and the 954 is real light and fast. I have no problems with the 02-03 R1's...

 

Fix the R1 up if its a wreck and sell it for $5500 and buy a F4i for like $3000 and stunt the hell out of that. It will pay off in the long run. Older R1's are good everyday street bikes. If you want to get serious in the sport I would sell it.

 

I don't really do stoppies, but I hear they are crap for them. But the R1...It's the only thing I really know. I've had this bike and a '96 ZX6R. I could wheelie the 600 way better on the highway, but I never 12'd it. The R1 is wiggly on the highway, but feels like a rock in 12's. (I run the idle @ 3500) I like the 1000 power. If a chop rider like myself can rock it, I'd love to see how I'd do on a 600.

I'd say with the exception of V-twins, a bike is a bike as far as stunting goes. Any of the big 4 jap 600-1000cc's are very stuntable, and there are guys out there rockin' everything. The R1 just kinda came along, so that's what I ride.

If it turns out to be a 'hard bike to stunt' I'll be all that much better when it's time for something new.
