Hey Ammra14!
Super sick video! Very very talented you guys! I want to get into stunting but i'm wondering what a good bike is for that and how it should be modified? |

A good bike for a beginner stunt bike is a dirt bike or true dual sport (an XR650 or KLR650). They are light weight, easy to wheelie, and have suspension to soak up hard landings and such. They also have very little plastic to shatter when it hits the ground, and parts are easy to find when you do have a mess up.
The KLR650 is the only bike I've owned that I could bring the front end up to the balance point and shift gears. It was way too easy to wheelie. Very fun!
But I'd never try it on my 1125 for fear of it skidding down the road on it's side or it's back. |

Gosh I can think of a couple ways that you could Better spend your time on your bike than 'stunting' and wheelies. It rhymes with 'jack pays' ....

I'm not a stunter, but I have to admit, I admire the guys who have the level of control those guys have. To ride a huge wheelie or carry a stoppie for a long distance.
But given the choice, I'd rather do a track day than ride a wheelie.  |

Amrra12, That video is bad ass!
Are you going to be nice to your 1125R or are you going to stunt it? I'd love to see that shit done on an 1125. |

While I admire the skill needed to stunt well, I can't bring myself to take so many chances with my baby. Sometimes I bring the front up a little but nothing like these crazy stunt guys, but I live in Cali. If you live in a flat area with no good roads I can understand the allure.  |
