954 for a stunter? 600s are much more manageable for that sort of thing from everything I've heard local stunters talk about. F4i and 03-05 636 being the most common.

From what I understand, the 954 has a pretty nicely defined balance point, good suspension for stunts and has a nice powerband for getting it up. I've heard plenty of people swear by the 954 as a really solid stunter. The 636 would probably be another great option. Just sayin... if the money was there.

954's are the old school bike of the stunt world. They were there back in the days when rocking highway wheelies, long stoppies and straight line fast combos ruled the scene. Stunt riding changed to something a lot more slower and technical which is where the f4i's and 636's came in.
