im wondering what people think on progressing from basically stunting a 50 and a ttr125 and limited stunting experience on street bikes (basically just messed around on the streets with balanced sitdowns shitty stoppies and some acros to impress pedestrians). i have a pretty limited budget cuz i still go to school and im wondering whats gonna be the best thing to buy to progress with about 3-4k...
right now im leaning towards a 450 motard rather than a 600. im not sure id be able to pick up advanced stunts (circles) on a streetbike without completely destroying it.
maybe i should just take out some loans and get both
whats everybody think the next best step for progression would be??

a 450 would be fun as hell, but honestly i'd go with the big bike

aw0n0

you dont think the jump from a small dirtbike to a 600 would be a little big?

GundamnitPete

it's a decent lil jump, but just practice err day and you'll pick it up fast.

<---did that in like 40 minutes

Schooler

ui jumped from the 150 to the f4i and learned circles SO FAST..i prob rode that 400 a few days and decided i didnt want it.

aw0n0

thats what i needed to hear
when are some sponsers gonna step up and put you on a 600 already!?

GundamnitPete

remember tho, schooler had idle locked.


that's one of the MAIN things i want to get out of the hundo, being able to ride a nice smooth idle wheelie. i think that's what's REALLY gonna pay off on the big bikes.

aw0n0

youre not using idle on your circles?

GundamnitPete

half the time i'm on the idle, the other half i'm gassing it cause it's fallin in (low idle)


you really don't need to have idle locked to do circles on a 125 or hundo


i do gots me some NTH tho.....:YEAH :YEAH

don't play around, get the 600 and get to stunting for real! motards and stuff are fun later

take your time, learn BP and idle wheelies w/ rear brake control first (shouldn't take long if you can already rock a TTR), then move on to harder stuff. good luck and practice practice practice!

I did the same progression, 50, to the 70, now tearing up the streets on my crf450, a motard 450 costs big $$ to stunt out, you can get a big bike for cheaper and do more tricks on them. My 450 is totally custom, so I can do streetbike stunts on it, 12 bar, handbrake, center mount exhaust, passanger pegs, 17's, talan, big brakes, 60T rear Sprocket. without all that stuff they are pretty limited, but still super fun.
