New to the StuntLife scene

Hi all my, names Michael, been riding for 8 years now and recently got into trying wheelies, I dont have much time to practice but I am getting better very very slowly. I have also recently found a big interest in stunting and just want a stunt bike now so I can go practice.

I met Nick storm (Hi Nick) on the Sunday just gone at a bike meet in brighton and was speaking to him which has made me want to stunt even more.

So hopefully I will have a stunt bike in the next few months, im finding it really hard to find stunt bikes for sale in the UK. I really like thr 600rr which is for sale on here but a bit to clean for me to start with I am thinking.

Anyway, hope to here from you all and your tips.

Mike Nice to know you got the bug! The 600rr looks like a good deal you can spend alot of time and money getting the parts needed. It's pre-made for ya!

Re: New to the StuntLife scene

Hi, thanks for your replies, I have noticed that the F4i's are used alot also the Ninja 636's.

Where can you buy all the cages and the 12 oclock bar etc

How long does it take to learn, I still need to master a basic wheelie yet

Your brave if you use a 636 for your first bike, when they take hard hits they brake bits, as for how long it will take you to learn no one can say till your out on the bike.

Yes he is killing it now, granted, but he was a pretty good trials rider before so he knows what hes doing to get himself out of trouble if that makes sense. For someone new to stunting it aint worth having a 636, just my actually **** it dont listen to what i say Billy knows best

Re: New to the StuntLife scene

I have ridden an 06 636 and find it alot harder to wheelie compared to my R6, they are both stock, so I wouldnt really want one of them really, I would idealy want a cbr600 fx or f4i. How much roughly would it cost to set one up from scratch not including buying the bike. Is it just a cage, a 12 bar, a second caliper and handbrake, rear sprocket/chain, the hole in the rear seat and the tank smacked down to make one. Sounds alot typing it out
