Best stunt bike opinions
#11
50s and sportbikes are waayyyy different but if you're motivated you'll figure it out quick. I'd start on an f4i, I'm still learning on a 636, but I wish I would have gotten an f4i instead. My kawi breaks all the time, f4i's are tanks

Haha I went from dirtbikes to my 04 636 having barely ridden a supersport (rode a r1 for like 10mins). I had to ask the guy how to start it and I just saw his face drop. Took a bit of convincing that I know how to ride, I've just never had a key or a neutral light :P

haha, true enough! I was thinking maybe hooking up with some local stunters. If he knows how to stunt a sumo, then someone might let them take their bike for a quick spin.

Or just got to some random dude on craigslist. "yeah I've never ridden a sport bike before... can I try some wheelies?"

I'm motivated to learn so I'm not stressed and I have rode a couple street bikes. I rode an 01 r1 and my neighbor had a 2012 BMW 1000rr that I rode. I have just never attempted to clutch up any of them because they were full fairing nice bikes and they weren't mine lol. But so I should probably find like an f4i and just go threw the motor and take my time and build it up?

I have stunted supermotos, I know there's a big weight and power difference so i can't really say much but I have more background than just spinning circles on a 50 lol.

Go for it then! I rode dirtbikes for like a year before I got my 636 as my first ever street bike. Never even sat on one before. It took me a few practice sessions to figure out I needed a lot more throttle and aggressive clutch action to get the front up that I thought I would need coming off a dirtbike. I was also way thrown off by the steering the first time I took it out on the streets, but I was totally in love!

Now after about 10 months of owning it, and being able to ride it for about a third of that time due to weather or working on the bike I was just starting to pick up circles and drifting... then my motor took a dump and the snow started falling. fml... oh well at least my motor didn't blow in the middle of summer!

I stunt ride 50's/dirtbikes right now so a street bike is a whole new world to me. I know on the 50 scene Ryan Moore has everything ready to go to bolt onto a 50, so I'm looking for a streetbike that's about the same way. If I sound like a noob sorry I'm a supermotard/dirtbike fanatic but I'm ready to get a stunt bike that'll actually be takin seriously.

Yo! Have you been to my spot? I live in zhills lol. I have a disabled, powdered lime green f4i that's ready to ride for less then your tying to spend. Pm me your #

03-04 636 Are best in my opinion. Very nice low end torque and the throttle responce is great. The frame is a little weak but if you learn to save it rather then choose to let it drop then that shouldnt be a problem. Not to mention there are a lot of parts out there for them. Most companys start their production with 03-04 636's. But for only 2 grand you might get a nice huffy... save up and spend 3.5 on a nice one! Best of luck!
