If you want a stunt bike, the WR250X has the most options avaliable to build a good stunt machine, though the engine is only a 250, it is fuel injected, 50stunt makes stunt pegs, sliders, and has a footbar in the works with a functioning prototype. So you'll have a bolt on parts to bust out RL's and combo's just like a similar streetbike setup, Bill at full throttle was making handbrake dual caliper kits for them, though I believe he is out of them right now. 50stunt may have some dual caliper kits coming in the near future for the motards. Or you can throw a rekcluse HB kit on.
If your not looking to do any combo's or anything, and you don't care about having bolt on stunt pegs or footbar, the CRF250X or 450X makes good supermotos / stunt bikes, they have Wide Ratio gear boxes, so you can hit the streets and hit the parking lot for some wheelie time, the R models are very narrow gear boxes and will tach out extremely quick with lower top speeds, also the R model 1st gear is like 2nd gear on the X models, not great for slow wheelies.
The Yamaha WR450F 250F also are great bikes, another wide ratio transmission.
Generally your going to want to start with a Dual Sport bike, not a race bike, unless you have lots of extra cash, the dual sports already have headlights, taillights, heavier flywheels, higher stator current output, kickstands, electric start, and wide ratio transmissions (good).
The race bikes have no kickstands, no lights, lower stator outputs, lighter flywheels, no electric start, and very narrow transmissions.
