What to look for in a stunt bike.?

Question

So I've been riding bikes for about 5 years, both dirt and street. Right now I ride a GSX-R 750.

Sure I've done a few wheelies here and there over the years, but I really want to get into some more serious stunting, without risking any damage to my primary bike.

So I'm thinking about buying a cheap used bike, preferrably under $3500 tops, hopefully much less. Perhaps one that is all beat up but still runs good. I'm wondering what are the biggest things to look for in a stunt bike?

And also more specifically I'm wondering.

1. Is it a must to get a fuel injected bike, or are carburated ones just as good?

2. What's the best size to consider for stunts, 600 750 1000?

Answer 1

fuel injected, if you get a carb bike and stay on a wheelie too long the motor will stall and you'll go over the handle bars. also look for a bike that has tons of parts, like bigger rear sprokets, and a motor cage

Answer 2

Try ebay. You can get a beat up one that still runs good for pretty reasonable. If not there try craigslist.

Answer 3

Look for one that is banged  up with broken parts maybe some blood and flesh on it. It probally came from a stunter

who had to learn the hard way that is not what the streets are for.
