exactly. cool bike, i stunted mine (when i had it). But some have second gear problems (dog bones wearing out). and the subframe is welded to the frame, which can sorta be a problem. and when i had mine i ran a MIG high mount exaust (it came with it).

my boy clay has a r6 and he pimps the hell outta that thing. They do have tranny problems though. I think hes on his third 2nd gear synchro.

i used to run yamaha but i think they are junk. they don't take abuse. they are ok for racing if you change the tranny, but for stunting, they'll probably die.

one of the guys on my team has a 2002 r6. he doesn't do much more than some stoppies, they get high and are really smooth on that bike. other than that, i don't know much more to say.

you can stunt anything...but you will definately have tranny problems on yamaha anything.

I still have my gixxer 750 for stunnin i think the r6 is way out of the gixxer 750s league. the gixxers and hondas are definatly the way 2 go for stunnin.

my friend had one, bent the sub frame after one little stoppie, crashed again and bent it straight, flipped another stoppie at like 5mph and twisted the **** out of it. and his second gear is going out. but yeah anything can be stunted!
