Re: Dirt Bike bars are for dirt bikes
actually "dirtbike bars" are just called handle bars and they have been on regular street motorcycles since the beginning of motorcycles. only when racing came along did they start using clip ons for race bikes as it provided a more tucked and aerodynamic body position for the rider. many street bikes stll come with handle bars...z1000's and such. what we are doing with a supersport racing motorcycle is not what they were intended for so you the argument could be made "race bikes are for race tracks".... get what im saying.
all that being said, i think supersport motorcyles look like a hot piece of **** streetfightered and with "dirtbars" i also dont believe its any more comfortable, maybe for general riding but the same affect can be obtained through flipped clip ons. i know cuz when i first started stunting i had bars on my gsxr and i went back to clip ons and have never considered going back. image is everything in riding, you can do the hardest most tech tricks out there but if ur rocking a 900rr with no plastics and handle bars with some baggy jnco' jeans and a helmet mohawk, im going to avert my eyes away from you so i dont throw up on my crispy white shoes. "stunt riding" needs to get away from this stereotype that we ride clapped out pieces of ****.

Re: Dirt Bike bars are for dirt bikes
i think this was a completely retarded thread that got started, use what works for you and dont bitch about what you like or dislike, should have asked the question, what works for you.

Re: Dirt Bike bars are for dirt bikes
this is a stupid thread but if we cant run d/b bars then i guess bill dixon and everyone running thumb throttles should take them off since they are not for street bikes. andi also run an msr clutch lever originally for a dirtbike should i get rid of it too?
whatever you wanna run on your bike i say go for it. its all preferance kinda how people buile custom cars

Re: Dirt Bike bars are for dirt bikes
yea i believ it doesnt matter what you run weather it be dirtbike bars, clip-ons, twist, or thumb throttle, non of it makes you any better or worse of a rider. to me its all about comfort and thats why i run DB bars and i love them

Re: Dirt Bike bars are for dirt bikes
im 6ft 2in and ive ran both and dbars feel more comfortable. either way you can run clip-ons or dbars skill doesnt come with either. as far as the clapped out part i love my pretty much crusty lookin bike. people laugh until they see you ride. i love stuntin mostly cause you can run this or that doesnt matter skill and practice will show, not money.
