    Can't use an SV650, they starve the front cylinder and go bang

    Go with a Motard, easy to wheelie...easy to stoppie....easy, easy, easy.....and when you bin it (not if,when) you can just pick it up and try again..

    Forget all the other shit and get a SRAD, don't starve for oil , don't blow up and crash real well. And do mint wheelies and stoppies.

    street triple...
    or for half the price
    used ER6n
    front brakes need adjusting for stoppies though as they feel a little grabby when used hard

    ok the vfr400 will be bloody hard....

    like power there is no substitute for cc's. The bigger the capacity (usually) the easier it is to wheelie, but the faster you go when doing them.

    My zxr400 although I could get the wheel up took quite a bit of effort and skill. The cbr600 was much easier and a flick of the cluth in first at about 7k revs would have it up almost on balance point. The gsxr600 was easier and then there was the 750 which was a just silly easy. the k4 1000 was easy as well but very fast for power wheelie. You can wheelie just about anything but ease depends on gearing, power delivery and skill.

    A nice cbr600 will do ya right. Mine was an f3 but an f4i might be a bit better.

    p.s. GO THE MIGHTY SRAD was the best bike to learn to wheelie on
    Lump lingered last in line for brains,
    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    get a oll (early 90s) 600.

    the honda ones, although being hondas, are pretty tough and have enough grunt when you play with the sprockets to do slow wheelies on.

    CBR600 F2 or F3 is the way to go!

    my cbr 600 F2 wheelies a piece of piss. with motocross bars these no need to use the clutch at all, just gas on the power and a slightly upwards flick of the wrists gets the wheel off the ground.

    I think the F2 and F3 have the same issue with doing stoppies as my FZR, Ghostrider said he had to flick the choke on before doin it to stop gas starving. I am still getting round to actuall moving the choke to the bars on my bike, so I just let it stall at the moment then restart it with the choke afterwards. Prolly looks a bit silly when I'm doing shows, but I've only done one so far and nobody seemed to mind the two second delay in shinanigans.

    my RR pisses out fuel outta the over flow, i use heaps of fuel if i do heaps of stoppies hahahhahahaha

    Just stick with the CBR's and you will be fine, the old CBR900's are wicked stunt bikes, my team mate, Jase used to stunt one of them back in the day lol

    Would a GSX-400K be an alright bike to learn to stunt on?
