hey guys im an aussie.lol
i stunted an 01 r1 full fairing big gears cage and a 12 bar full rego 4 a while.
when i got to my 3rd headlight unit i said enuf is enuf.
also we got big long roads over hear and it suks screamin around i top gear and if you went up the mountain for a beer the cage would scrape on corners and all round it was a pain in the ***.
the cop cars round here haul serious *** you dont stand a chance on a set up stunt bike.
i ditched all the stunt gear xcept i geared it down a little from stock (-1 +4)
and it is still awsome for wheelies and can mix with the best on mountain corners.
i got myself a 02 f4i and fully stunted it out and ive never looked back.
stuff that had me shittin briks on the r1 are a walk in the park on the 600 hundred. lucky tho i have a legal ride spot to ride it dont need rego.
some litre bikes arnt to bad but go a 600 so much nicer and enloyable.
hows the UK this time of year?

 

UK's getting warmer but its never as good as Oz IME, although from memory your roads aren't the best out there, but thats probably just the citys.

If i could afford it i would have two bikes, one road legal and one for pure stunt. Thing is i like to mix the two.

Back to 600 v 1000 debate - Most riders choose the jap bikes for cost and performance, plus they have all the accessories.
But would a v-twin (ducatti) sports bike make a good stunt engine?, they seem to have great low end grunt and controlability, not that ive ever rode one.

 

Pfeiffer managed it on a monster. But then again if his engine went pop Ducati send him one in the post, so it could be a very expensive decision.

 

Thats a good point, ducati's aren't known for their durability.

I love to watch the Rough Riders stuntin busa's and stuff

 

You mean Ruff Ryders?

And a V-twin gets starved of oil, and the front cylinder goes Ka-blewey

 

big style ka-blewey!!

 

Them too

 

carl you on here a lot tody which site you on?? ain't you got nowt better to do??????????

 

Steve's off today, so i'm having a lazy morning. gotta pay some people this afternoon though

 

If im not mistaken, with a couple of engine mount mods the 750cc engine fits in our GSXR's, would the extra torque/same weight help with the stuntin or would it be too scary? just curious

 

probably too much power. the 600 is about right anyway

 

ant you don't need it

Ludo stunted his gixxers, all three of them

 

at the same time????????????

he must be very good!!!

 

Yeah, thats why i put 'just curious'

So 750's too much torque would make the launch more unpredictable than the 600?

 

dunno

 

yeah would be more vicous

 

You aint the only one with a good deal, watch this space:YEAH

 

damn double posts

 

Birdie, did you mean viscous or vicious?

 

You just can't help yourself hey
