hey guys just quick question on what I should get so I don't rack up my 05 r6. If I was to get a fiddy would that help the same as getting a stunt bike?? just curious which route you guys went!

Help what? Depends on what you are using it for. Fiddies are good for putsing around town, poor weather, parties, etc. Stunt bikes are just different. I have both and ride both for different reasons.

Get both!

yeah was just looking to use it to lean wheelies and endos and the such to get a fell for how to find balance points and stuff, I know it is different on a street bike but just for the basics, or would it be better to just get a crashed streetbike and use that??

stunt bike its the actuall size would you buy a big wheel to learn how to race cars?

To learn street, definately a full sizer. A fiddy will give you a little bit of insite, but the whole feel, positioning, weight, etc is just too different. I can kill my fiddy, but I'm still learning on the street. Even though I know where the balance point is on the fiddy, and I can do just about anything on it, a street bike is just way different.

The safest way to "learn" would be on a four-wheeler. That can help build confidence quickly because you don't have to worry about the crashing aspect as much. I went from not being able to do much on a street bike, to doing just about everything on the four-wheeler in a matter of hours (one handers, spreaders, seat standers, fender grabs, scraping, etc). Four wheelers are great learning tools.

I would say get a fiddy, because the main thing for wheelies is the back brake. Yes the fiddy is smaller but you will realize that you will have to flip it a couple of times before you catch the concept of back braking. I think it is the safest way and simplest way to learn your back brake. Now on the stunt it will will the same thing but if you fall you might hurt yourself and crash the bike. My advice is the fiddy, safer much easier and less money.

fiddy

"if you can't stunt a fiddy , you aren't gonna be stuntin the big ones" That and they are a **** load of fun, more ride time compared to a sprocketed stunt bike

i would get the 50, you can take it anywhere and they are so much fun. its not going to teach you how to wheelie, but it will help you get the concept of the back brake.

if you are going to do parking lot stuff, you better get a big bike, cuz that r6 is going to get trashed.

Get a 50, cheap fun, less tickets, more spots to ride, same tricks!

I weigh about 230. My homie told me that the 50 wouldn't be able to hold my weight on the back wheel. Said the spokes would break. How true is this?

at 230 pounds a stuntbike should feel like a fiddy !!

-MXD-

i would say thats not true, my friend is about that size and he can do it. he did keep busting tubes with street tires though. but we put some 275 dirt tires and they work good.

learn on a 50,than get a stuntbike.
