Honda 600RR
I am new to the 12ing scene but I would like to learn on a 600RR. Does anyone have any advise on this bike or know anyone rocking this bike? Vidoes or pics would be sweet too. Thanks Guys.

Re: Honda 600RR
the 600rr is perhaps the most imperfect stuntbike you could ever buy...
i got mine in july and my F4i pulls wheelies like nobody's business (both bikes have stock gearing), the 600rr requires a little more persuasion, it's not only a few pounds heavier overall, but much front heavier b/c of the engine geometry and riding position...different bikes obviously do different things...the 600rr while you can obviously stunt w/ it, is not the best bike for the job...top speeds, upper rpm accel. and amazing control in turns is where this bike shines, i've raced it a number of times and it destroys the f4i on race-speeds (i.e. 9-12,500 rpm rang) and cornering, hands down.
***
on the 600rr i still haven't been able to ride through 2nd gear...and yeah you all are gonna say don't be a ***** just find that balance point...well bp's are fun to finally get but the sphincter factor goes up by about 10x on a pretty brand new bike that hasn't been laid down (yet).

Re: Honda 600RR
besides the riding geometry of this bike. it has a swingarm designed to keep the front wheel on the ground. as soon as u dump the throttle the swingarm drops. this is designed as a track bike. like someone said, it is proly the worst engineered bike for stunting. but i guess u gotta ride what u got. if i were u, id probably ride it for a season and see how u like it. before u go tearin it apart and puttin 12 bars and cages and what not. that way u can sell it, next season i f u decide on getting a bike better suited for stunting.
