Stick to the weaker bikes before you kill yourself

I think if your asking a question like that you shouldn't have a 1000rr.......




It don't matter dude.........it's all throttle control....

+1.... start in first, so when you do loop it, your still alive and can step back down to a 600cc for stunting.

more controllable in second but as stated above, if you have to ask maybe you shouldn't be on that bike

just do what that lil voice inside your head tells you to do..

the 1000rr actually takes quite a lot of gas to get up when bone stock compared to other liter bikes

stock05

are you gonna feel bad when he brakes his back?

Getsome

to a point he is correct. in first it'll come up easy as pie. Balance point is WAY high.... In Second you gotta gag the hell out of it if you got stock gearing to get her up there... Honda designed the bike with a slightly longer swingarm/wheelbase than it's predacessor(the 954) to make it alot less wheelie prone.

stock05

while that may be true, he said hes going from a 6 to a 1liter

The part about the swingarm is true for 04-05 models. He did say 05. For 06 they shortened it. But still, I can power one up in second at like 25 mph with a hell of a bounce. BP is way up there for beginners!
