to stunt or not to stunt

If you want to stunt that bad why not buy an older F4I or something like that.

I have nothing against stunting I think it's pretty sick but if I was to do it I would prolly just get a bike that could take the beating without a problem.

i would love to have f4i but dont have alot of money to spend on one ... but i guess better question would be what is the SV short comeings when it comes to stuntin

the story is that if your oil is below full then you'll starve the front cyl or a bearing and shortly after the motor is a big paperweight.
Some say yes, some say no. The general consensus is that there are definitely better bikes for stunting.

Buy a buell

well, i don't think its going to matter what short comings it has. you don't have enough for a I4 stunt bike, so just go for it. i think a stabilizer would be helpfull though. although if you can scrape together $1500, you can pick up a stunt bike from craigslist.

The SV isn't really a stunters bike, sell the SV and buy a Gsx-R.

What They ^^^ said

post a craigslist ad and charge people 50 bucks. you'll learn with them.

the stuff you listed can be done and yes it will tear up your bike, but it will tear up any bike. If you check youtube you can find video's of people stunting SV's. The real issuse will be if you can restrain yourself from wheelies, after all a lot of stunt's revolve around them. 12 o'clocks, circules, coasters, stand-ups, tank. I'd guess 80% of stunting involves wheelies.

Yay... somebody else to raise our insurance prices for us. Just please me smart about it.

haha i saw that video! lawl

Can the standard 1st gen SV do a stoppie? Ive tried my hardest for a few months now and it just locks the front and kinda tucks on me. For the life of me I can't get the ass up for more than about 5 feet.

that bike looks far from stock though. My bike has nearly stock everything... maybe that's why =(

oh and for all of you that want to try stunting.... remember, the clutch is your friend. Too bad this guy didn't know that before this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlYymSFq5L4
