Help Me Choose a Bike
Ok, so my '02 R1 is the bomb. I can do all the stunts on it that I really care to do. I don't get too crazy - standups, tank spreaders, hi-chairs, and circle burnouts are about all I do. (I just like to have fun, I'm not looking to be a professional stunter.)

I got my '06 r1 a year ago and it sucks for anything even remotely resembling a stunt. So I'm looking to replace it. I still have the '02 and ride it anytime I want to play, but it's not a reliable bike. It burns up stators every 20k miles and I ride 35k miles a year.

I'm looking for a bike that I can throw on a cage (or probably "race rails" so I can do canyons) and a 12 bar and use as my daily commuter AND stunt bike (remembering the few stunts that I care to do) AND keep full, unscathed fairings so it looks good. I'm thinking a pre-06 gixer 750 but thought I'd get all your opinions.

You don't count, you have a 954.

Anthony... 954 eh? Capone hasn't had much luck. And they seem to have clutch bearing problems.

new clutch is cheaper than a new stator.
the rest of the motor is just about bulletproof.

That bike had about 0 maintenance done to it, not to mention, he loves 12k rpm wheelies down the streets riding the hb, lol.
