newbie stunt questions
I did try searching and couldnt find the answer to this question but ive been riding a 08 zx6r bout a year now.. never stunted much rode dirt bikes and 4 wheelers as a kid bout thats bout it...
would a pitbike be a smart way to start stunting until i felt comfortable enough to move up to street bikes... ?
or would the 2 different platforms throw me off when i feel im ready to move to my zx6r or stunt bike i may purhase later

Re: newbie stunt questions
pit bike no,if anything a four stroke dirtbike would be closer but really no comparisson to the weight or feel of a big bike.either practice your throttle/brake control on a dirtbike(if you still got one) or just nut up and get on that zx6 and dump that clutch.IMO pit bikes are a waste of money.
get a dirt cheap honda f3-f4 cause you WILL loop that 08 zx6 then you'll feel like an idiot for bustin up a perfectly good bike.

Re: newbie stunt questions
I would get a pit bike, reason why is you can practice on that in your back yard just about any where and learn on that without tearing up anything other than yourself. I hurt myself more on the pit bike than on my big bike.
Pit bikes are just plain fun even if you can kill it on your big bike. I had so much fun with my first one and have a 8 year old son to boot I bought another one that has the 88 kit in it. Just one more piece of advice is don't get one of the Chinese knock offs, get a Honda CRF50. Those things are just about indestructible.
