Re: ?'s about gsxr750
I went back to a GSXR 600, cause it had more than enough power with a lot less problems (but that's just me). 12's, high speed, whatever they are good bikes, just don't get up in the revs on the bar or coasters

p.s i've had my bike for 3 years and i havent seen the oil light come on at all while i was wheeliein, and people have told that it would if i was starving the engine of oil

Re: ?'s about gsxr750
Gixxers are allright. They feel better to me than a 929 but the 929 is the way to go if you want a bike that you dont have to work on constantly. The only thing that is real bad about the gixxers is they blow up real easy due to a shitty oil sump and pickup design. I honestly don't see how anyone can scrape highchairs or spreaders and be at high enough rpms to clutch them down without some insane gearing and not blow their **** up. I toasted a fresh motor in one day trying it. No problems since I got an extended oil pickup though.

Re: ?'s about gsxr750
Found that extended pickup on ebay the other night, just do a search for a gsxr engine, it should be there somewhere... Seriously though, that wont be an issue for a while, especially if your new to stunting... I think the newer gixxers are awesome, my sixxer comes up easy in first and second

Re: ?'s about gsxr750
I'd say go for the Zuk, I like Suzuki and Honda. Ive had 2 Suzuki dirtbikes and 3 Honda bikes.. all were very well engineered (granted the Gixxers have had some probs but mostly only for hard stunters). The 750 is a good strong motor, Ive rocked two, one stock, one geared and liked both. Revs up quick, smooth power, all around good feel to it. I did notice the geared out one (-1 +8) was pretty damn twitchy though.. I actually prefered the stock one. I guess I would suggest just being careful and taking your time.. my neighbor wadded up his '02 750 3 days after he got it on a 1st gear clutched up power wheelie ( 
) basically killin it. Ironically though, he had an F4 in the garage and learned how to wheelie with it while the Gixxer was being fixed.
So I guess the moral of the story is...
