2004/5 GSX-R750 advice
I'm going to buy a gsx-r750 sometime during the summer next year and was wondering just how good of a stunt piece it really is. I have ridden a '02 750 and it was great but I never got to take it to an extreme, so I really don't know how the thing reacts to wheelies/endos/acrobatic tricks. 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!!!

[QUOTE=catach42]why the would u buy a brand new 750 to stunt? u can buy like 4 stuntbikes for that amount of money (including insurance)[
I'm not buying it just to stunt, I was also planning on trackdays and everyday use also.

Gsxr are nice bikes. But they can't hang on full blown stunt riding. To much repairing. Lots of horse power, weak subframe, oil starvation at balance point. I would buy another 1000 but only to have one. I wouldn't want to stunt it. To expensive.

Heres the Deal 01-02 GSXR are the best stunt bikes..> All you have to do is add a pickup from stuntexx.com and your all set... the new 04-05 suck there subframes are made out of that cast ****.. there made to be lighter but not strong for stunting.... these bikes are made for racing.....
Buy an 01 - 02 put a pickup on it a cage and your all set... they are a great bike.. you can get one for about $4000 in great shape why spend 9,000 on something that will break all the time!!!

****, I guess I'll just wait a little more (and save some more money) and see what the 2006/7 models are like. Thanks for all the help everyone, and keep riding on one!

Re: 2004/5 GSX-R750 advice
why ??? your not going to find a bike like that. You can't stunt a daily driver as hard as it sounds like you want to. spreaders and all that yeah but you have been riding for how long at 15??? and your just going to slide into stunting and track days and daily driving?? uh uh. Get an old Honda for 1500 and beat the snot out of . then for 5k buy a 3 year old gixxer to ride

Ok, so let me get this straight, the 00-03 gixxers are almost exactly the same right? I know they started making them injected in 00 but is there any difference from 00-03? Besides paint?
Oh ya, and what does SRAD stand for, I've seen it all over but I don't know what it means.
