Get an old Honda for 1500 and beat the snot out of . then for 5k buy a 3 year old gixxer to ride
I stunt my 03 636 on a daily basis, and ride the streets still. When I do want to take it to trackdays, I gotta rip off my cage and change sprockets and stuff but it's not that big of a deal.

"Where can I get one of these, or did you make it yourself? (upper brace)"
This one was from racing905.com The rumor is that they are gona be making complete replacement upper stays for a couple of the most popular bikes with this concept built-in soon.
"Had any problems with breaking the fairing mounts off of the frame? Seems like it would put a lot of stress on this area."
I have not had any prob's and this is the second one on my bike with a few crashes on them...But i agree, it would be better to combine this set-up with the bars running to a plate that would mount under the tank bolts.

As for the stuntex mod, I'm sur they are not going to promote their mod for everyday use to cover their butts, but I cannot see any downfall to this mod.
The only possible negative is that while doing long endos, your bike could starve of oil, but you are typically idling in an endo, not high revs and load of a wheelie. I would rather my motor starved in a stoppie than in a wheelie!

How strong is the subframe when doing 12's, and how well does the engine pull around 8-12k rpms? Also does anyone have any bp pictures on a 750? Thanks in advance for any help and keep stuntin!!!

Re: 2004/5 GSX-R750 advice
um, without collision or somprehensive (theft and fire) it should be dirt cheap. Depends on your driving record and such but I'm a step 15 and it would be about 175 a year without collision of comp, probably around a grand with them.
Depends on what you want and what kind of driving record you have.
And evo, did you say $5,000? I didn't quite understand 5 large, but if you mean 5 g's you have got to be wrong. Even with a $250 deductible on collision and comp and stuff I can't see it being over $2,000 a year.
You start out as a step 15, at least in mass, which is right in the middle of the insurance rates, not rediculous but kinda high.
And if I were you I wouldn't start out on something brand new like a gixxer 750, tons of power for anyone, especially someone that's new to riding the streets.
And face it, at some point you ARE doing to dump it, first bike always = dump. We all do it so why not get something a little older and a lot cheaper to start out on, and then get that 750 when you have that drop out of your system and have some miles under your belt.
Personally I would go with maybe a 00-03 gixxer 600 if I were you, plenty of power but not TOO much, and something that won't make you cry after you get a little scratch on it. Ton's cheaper than buying new, and why buy something brand new if you're going to stunt it anyway?
Just my $0.02
