Good cheap bike to learn stunts on?

I was checking out the XR50 cause everyone says that's a good bike to learn wheelies on and learn brake control. One thing that I noticed was that this bike has no clutch. So how do you practice clutching it up? I mean I'm sure you can lift it without a clutch, but if you learn that way, when you transfer to a big bike won't you still be confused on clutching it up? I noticed the XR70/80s have clutches, though some were auto transmisiion.

I have a big driveway. Will these bikes be small enough to practice slow wheelies or do you still need a decent amount of room?

Any other bike suggestions? Is this the best approach to mastering the wheelie? Thanks.
