the 600rr is designed as a knee dragger more than it is for street...it would be harder to stunt than say an f4i or gixxer 6
but it CAN be done just as well...i ride an rc51 whick is very much designed as a knee dragger but i keep up with or out do most everybody i ride with

take your time don't push it too far and only do what yer comfortable with...and practice ALOT
it takes time,if it's your first bike get used to normal riding before you try stuntin at all

I don't understand why everyone says you need to cane th ehell out of Gixxer 6 to get it to stand up. I have an 02 600 and in 1st gear, I can stroll along at 3,000 rpm and load the suspension and up it comes. 2nd is harder but can be done. None of this 7-8,000 rpm wheelie ****.

I was rockin an f4i last year... this year there are ALOT more people rockin the 6 hundos..


Personally i think its easier to learn slow **** on a 6.... i loved my 6..




but once i got it all down.. the 929 im on this year i love.. i got used to the extra power and geared it.. things awesome for stoppies..


its all prefference.. i can do all the same stuff on a 600 as a 929.. it doesnt matter.. just whats more comfortable.

im only 5'4 150 lbs too.. so for the lil guys... ( im not sure anyone is as little as me) but.. size /weight dont matter either

i didn't say i didn't have a stabilizer.....i said i tried EVERYTHING....which included the first thing i bought when i bought my 929 was a stabilizer. i had that the same day i bought it.

i've tried 3 different 929's and they are all the same. i had 2 of them and then my team mate has one....all of them get crazy headshake so i was curoius what you do.

i don't this problem on a 900rr.
