i dont know.......ive seen his go done over a 1000 times

like 6 cracks in the frame, a 905 cage that looks like a pretzel, drilled subframe into the frame, no front brakes, a rear peg made outta duct tape, one of the shittiest bikes ive ever seen, but it just keeps on going

its a damn death trap

 

Seperate discussions....I'm not bashing R6's at all...I like them (I'd agree that they are not durable for hard core stunting)

Tip-over sensors are typically found in fuel injected bikes and from his profile, mistaholiday has a carb'd model, which tend to flood when they go down

 

actually i don't think they flood when they go down...i'm pretty sure that all the fuel gets dumped out instead...i could be wrong though

 

yeah same with 900rr, so stand it up, try cranking it every once in a while but expect a backfire out of it.

 

we stunt tuesday night and i saw this kid like 18 yrs old and he was tearing it up on a all stock 04 r6. high chairs for like thousand of feet and stuff. he only had 2,500 miles on it and it was his 1st bike. amazing huh. i like the r6's and r1's and i wanted to buy 1 until some guy i met told me that there not good for stunting because the break at the neck alot if they flip over. everyone has an opinion about them but i trust him because he owns a bike shop. if i buy a bike to stunt i plan to drop it pretty hard so i need a bike to last not to break at the frame and become ebay parts. but hey it all depends on the stunter. Look at darius khashabi from servin it up 2. he is likwe the best stunter right now. and he rides yamaha.

 

The R6 is pretty good at doing tricks, it even better then an R1(transmition differences). The older R6s 99-02 had a known problem with the 2nd gear though. The reson you don't see many of them used by the hardcore stunters is because they suck when you crash. They just seem to blow apart in even minor crashes. If you get the chance checkout some of the videos like "crashing sucks" and you'll see all these bike having major wrecks and needing minor repair, then a guy dump a wheelie at like 20 mhps on an R6 and it needs a whole new body(all the plastics as when it hit the ground it bounced and spun) pegs, clip ons, etc... I personally thing the problem is that they seem to bounce. The hondas seem to hit the ground and just slide. That minimises the damage.

 

We were out friday and this guy had a 2003 r6 completely stock. He was rocking stand-ups, highchairs and all kinds of stuff. To me looks like its a bike that can be stunted good. I was impressed.. I mean it was STOCK no pipe, sprocket anything! Dude was

 

my r6 doesnt die either broke a lot of clip ons now i got vortex and they havent broken yet

 

I "was" rockin an 04 R6. You could wheelie that thing for days... well you could... I couldn't. But from what I had goin on it was doin just fine. Lost it hardcore at about 30 mph, flipped upside down, smacked off the windscreen, then off the tail, flipped about 2 more times and bounced off the left side, spun and slid a little more, flipped up one more time and slid on the right side, flipped back up onto the wheels and rolled for like 8 feet then fell over on the left side again. Looked pretty cool. I watch it about once a week to remind myself how dumb I am. Only damage was .... just about everything on the bike. both covers cracked, the front stay bracket broke, rashed every inch of plasic, shredded the rear seat, crushed and ripped off the exhaust, somehow the rear rim got a huge gouge in it, anhialated both bar ends, and cracked the left motor mount where the frame slider was attatched. I'm slowly workin on gettin it back together. It's killin my wallet though! I would suggest somethin more like an old F2 or 3. Somethin with parts everywhere and thats pretty much indestructable. maybe an old gixxer or something of thats sorts. Just my

 

i looped my old F4 and it flipped like crazy in the air....i think it is more a luck of the draw when it comes to whether or not the bike flips

 

r6's are fine for stuntin', if i had my choice of any bike to stunt i'm sure it wouldn't be the r6 i have now, but never the less it's still a strong running and in my opinion durable bike....

 

man i got a 03 r6 and it will do anythin any other bike will i can scrape tail highcharis spreaders......

bottom line rock what you got dotn make excuses
