Thinking
So i went by the honda dealership and see the new CBR 1000 and i see how its transformed in to race bike so much that it might be hard to make it a stunt bike. later that night im thinking this motorcycle companys should maybe think about producing a stunt bike since stunting is getting so big. Think about it, bikes with tanks made mashed in but professionally, bars and cages already put on, oil pickups in the motor placed in the right spots for when your scrapin or doing your slow ****, hydralic handbrake, geared like 15 up, windscreens reinforced something like the 900rr, the geometery of the bike made for stunting, for a good balance point etc etc. its a nice dream for now, but maybe someday it will come true.

Re: Thinking
i've thought that all the time that would be pimp. they wouldn't even have to gear **** they could make the actual transmission have the correct gears and make it to where you could have your slow moving small gears but allow your 6th gear to step it up a little in the power

Re: Thinking
the man has a point here.........
that plastic tank shell **** sucks. Its eventually gonna get to the point where the companys are actually gonna be working against stunting by building these bikes more and more hi-tek.
They should just start building 900RR's and F3's again and sell them as stunt bikes forever

Re: Thinking
They do make a stunt bike.. its called the F4i! Its light, has great torque, awsome BP, great handling, good brakes, and won't starve for oil @ 12 very easily. I think you can say the same for GSX-R 750's also. I understand the need for a COMPLETE stunt machine.. but the day I see a 12 bar on the showroom floor is the day I pick up a new hobbie!

Re: Thinking
not a bad idea. I was gonna say the gov wouldn't like it because you're promoting people from doing illegal **** on the street, but i guess that's the same thing as selling a bike with 150rwhp from the factory.

Re: Thinking
man.. only honda is getting crappier.. Look at the kawis.. the 636 is about as hooked up as you can get for stunting. Everyone that has stunted em loves em that I have talked to. The new gixxers are off tha chain. The new ones are more hooked up than the 2000 - 2003s for sure.. no doubt. Frames are thick as hell and they dont have those stupid tiny subframe tabs to break off anymore. I am sure the oil pickup is in the same shitty spot, but all you have to do is chill out with the ******* wheelies and limiter coasties and there's no worries. If I were getting a new bike it would be a hard decision between the 636 or the 04 750.

Re: Thinking
636 is nice for stunting, but by no means is it as nice as it could be...some negatives:
footpegs are weaker than plastic, footpeg brackets are weak, the front fairing stay (also air intake) is effing PLASTIC and there is no aftermarket products for it, the tanks are tiny and don't dent well.
yes, it is a great bike, no stunting is not getting as big as you all think it is....think about motorcycling as a WHOLE...who are we?
keep plugging along, but there are millions and millions riding on who wins the race, not the long endo contest

Re: Thinking
Personally... I hope stuntin doesn't get too much bigger... X-games would be cool... But after that every young cat in the country will be walking around with neck braces after f-cking themselves up trying to park a 12 before they even learn brake control cause you cats make it look so damn easy.
Soon Fox will be mass producing stunt vids and put some of us out of business.
KEEP DAT **** UNDERGROUND!
or I might sell out.... go work for MTV and become the Nelly of Stuntlife.com.

Re: Thinking
they aren't going to touch it. stunt riding isn't getting bigger. i'll agree it's getting bigger when we finally have a single organization. hell, espn won't even touch it because there is no stadard rules and one standard organized comp setup like FMX. until there is.....no bike company is going to touch anything near it. they can't make money off something that isn't on tv pulling in tons of money like FMX.

Re: Thinking
Why from the factory? You have these chopper guys building custom choppers from scratch.(OCC, Jesse James and all those dudes) If you got what it takes build your own stuntbike. Make your own frame , subframe, tank, etc. etc. That would be pimp.

Re: Thinking
All the stunters I know are cheap bastards and wouldn't spend the money on a new bike anyway. Also everyone likes their bikes differant so one bike wouldn't work, they would have to be custom for every rider.
