Will there be a new dominate stunt bike?
#21
yea the center exhaust thing could be bad deal....I'd say cut the f-cker down and put a donkey dick on the end aiming the exhaust away and down. this guy joey I know stunts one and he rolls that **** an inch away from the exhaust output. Hell, who needs a bar when you can hold the throttle open a bit and just hover on the exhaust pressure! COME AWN

Y would u buy a new bike to stunt? that is too much $$$ The 929 is almost 4 years old now u can get them cheap and they are awsome. That is my next bike. I have a 1k and the power is sweet but it is falling apart and I dont need all that power to do slow stuff.
I put it off for a long time but I am going over to the honda side next summer.

all the dealer shows are in the next couple of weeks, one is going on right now. all the new 04 bikes will be unvieled. yamaha is hinting around about some new bad *** r1. unfortunatley these companies are making these bikes lighter, faster, to beat each other. the lighter and more high tech they become the weaker, less reliable( as far as pounding the **** out of them) and the twitcher they are. i don't think honda, yamaha suzuki or kawazuki care about making stunt worthy bikes. i heard a rumor that bmw is coming out with one, but that is just a rumor
i was a die hard gsxr rider , i have had 8 of them until this year. i bought a 929 and really like it..but the side covers are too weak and too easy to bend your crank. my .02$

i never locked up the motor but i did freeze my trans. in my 01 1000 once. your not from the east coast but guys around here go to this spot in n.j. about a half hour from o.c. it awesome. great dirtbike riding in all these dunes, anyhow there is a three mile strech that everyone wheelies on and i rode one pretty much the whole way. 2nd gear for all of it, only problem was my bike was stuck in 2nd after. a buddie crashed so we stopped. after an hour it was fine. gsxr's take a beatin.so does my honda. i have a broken case now. i crashed a 12 at the starboyz event in l.i. and my frame cage crushed into the case. oh well i'll worry about it later, i'm done for the year. shattered my ankle. sucks i was just getting them pretty good, you seem to be too. i remember from earlier posts we pretty much started trying them at the same time. man i wish highchairs were the ****, i have them on lock.

highchairs are the ****, rock them really high and people freak out....just don't touch the tail!
i can rock them almost 12 now, but i'm scared to touch the tail.
and ya, sucks your cage failed...sometimes that happens. just gotta roll with it and keep on stuntin.

i sell honda yamaha and suzuki's. i've been doing this for years. i am the top dog at my dealership and the only other dealership i've worked in. the other had all your jap brands, k, y, s, h plus moto guzzi, triumph, ducati, bmw and aprilla. i never once steered anyone to one of those pieces of **** pretty *** bikes. if your buying a bike buy a jap bike for piece of mind and reliability or buy a harley for a piece of americana. those european bikes are ****.,**** , ****, the warranties are ****, **** ****, the parts are too hard to get and too expensive. i always tell people that say i'm going to get a ducati, buy a f'n poster and save the hastle and ten grand/. european=****, ****, ****, ****

Something else to think about with the new Honda 1000: "mass centralization". A couple of the UK magazines always included "wheelie-ability" in their bike shootouts. (ya gotta love em ) In the last 600 shootout, they rated the 600RR the worst for wheelies... why? Cuz of the mass centralization, which is great for racing as it helps keep the front end down when you want it, like the RC211V. The problem is it makes for a shitty wheelie bike, as the front will want to stay down until it hits a certain point, then just flip over backwards. So it has **** for a balance point. If the new 1000RR is anything like the 600, it will likely be the same. Great handling, great track bike, but not so great for da wheelies.
Of course this is just what I've read (600RR) and speculation (1000RR). Haveta wait til they hit the streets and people start stunting em to see how they really perform.
