Equiptment makes a big difference you worn't see a carpenter trying to hammer a nail in with is shoe. Having the right equiptment is part if it. Stunting can be done on any bike but without the F'n sweet bikes the stunts would be no where near as good.

Oh yeah? Well, I couldn't do wheelies for **** anymore on my '01 Gixxer 600 for some reason, for like two days, so I took it to the bike doctor. Turns out an injector quit, and I wasn't getting enough power down low. That is, my friends, the bike making it a problem, not me. So there is at least one bit of proof that the bike can cause some serious probs. Hell, ask anyone who has snapped a clutch cable doing a rolling burn-out what they think of "can a bike cause..." The bike has MAJOR influence on riding. Of course skill does play a major, huuuuge part in it, but if your bike isn't running decent, you can have all kinds of problems that are beyond rider control. Basically, the rider has the most influence on what happens, since he IS the rider, and (hopefully at least) IS in control, but the bike can easily have a problem that makes it unstable or unsafe to stunt on. I mean come on, we all know that **** happens.
