beginner stunt bike advice

i'm stuck between buying a klr 650 , klx 300r or a 636. which is a better stunt bike. Over here in nyc the klr is a popular stunt bike, but this would be my first four stoke and would like some advice.

F4i.. I have 636 and I wouldn't suggest learning on one. The F4i can take more of a beating

Re: beginner stunt bike advice

636 or f4i

they should be about just as easy to stunt as the other bike, but teh f4i should take more of a beating..

Luv my f4i

Re: beginner stunt bike advice

you guys think a sport bike is easier to learn on compared to a dual sport?

You have ups and downs of each the DS is a low lighter but... I would go SB all the way. I still stunt out the DB but I am more comfortable on the sportbike.

Just get something and learn to ride.. then start crashing it and attempting to stunt.. have to start somewhere.

Re: beginner stunt bike advice

You guys are dumb, F4i wasn't one of the choices.
KLR looks like its awesome I'd get one of those if I could.
