Re: What bike did you start on?

Ah might of Miss read but there's some threads kicking around where people say there going to kill themselves and trash the bikes etc. Still, interested to see who started strait out stunting on 600's

Re: What bike did you start on?

They are probably just squids posting, all the gear, no idea etc... 600's are decent stunt bikes... you don't need a 1000.. smaller bikes are fine too, but 600's are good all round bikes, especially the f sport and 636 , they are the most popular stunt bikes.

Pretty much everyone here started stunting (properly) on a 600 AFAIK.

just go for it :YEAH

Re: What bike did you start on?

the f sport is the f4i... the americans call it f4i, we call it f sport, its the same bike though, only ours don't have the extra emissions junk on it.

In the uk we call the 600 F4 the f4i... its the 2001 onwards bannana seat version of the f sport.. it runs from 2001 to 2007 afaik. It's the same bike, just has a more tourery type seat on it and has different gearing.. but other than that, it's the same.

ps the fsport is also know as the FSI or FS-1, FS-2 for 01 and 02 respectively, but they are the same bike.

Re: What bike did you start on?

If I were over there and considering my first stunter, Id check out some of the 400's you guys have available. I wish they had them over here. Anyway 60o's are great but are still super powerful. I started on an 02 ZX6r in 01 (lasted a month) then CBR600's ever since. F1Hurricaine, F4 and now my 3rd F4i

Re: What bike did you start on?

Started on an SV, blew it up the night I learned BP (go figure) then moved onto a GSXR 600 K1, broke that and now I have my f4i.

I want a GSXR K4 for my next bike though.
