Re: First stunt bike?

right. you can hop off a 50 and run behind it. a big bike not so much when your new. and the cost of replacing parts and such is 1/2 the big bike easy ask some local riders. i would bet they say the same

Re: First stunt bike?

it will teach you the most important thing. brake control. i have never looped once i got brake control on my 50. and am now workin on circles and ive been riding since december. i know people who never did the 50 route that still cant slow down a wheelie and its been a year or two

Re: First stunt bike?

50's are good for learning brake control. but it dosen't teach you the clutch. i say learn with a clutch from the start. either add a clutch to a 50 or use a xr80..just my $0.02

Re: First stunt bike?

F4i.... The end! Once you get most circles on lock switch to 636.. F4i can take waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more abuse...Or you can just get a 636 and replace the frame the first season lol

I have a 50 already set up with all the best stunt parts from 50 stunt. I live in Austin so if your interested let me know.

I would buy an f4i for your first stunt bike. The spots in killeen are nice so you will have plenty of places to ride. I drive up there from Austin to ride all the time

Thanks for the service bro. Wish things did not go south for me. There is not a day that goes by that I wish I could be over there with my marines. I let three very good friends down. I will regret it till the day I die ALWAYS.
