Default help with a decision

Whats going on everyone. I'm a new member to the site and have been looking around for a low priced 600F2-F3. for my first bike. I've been riding dirtbikes and racing moto all my life, and am currently stuck riding my dads '86 shadow 700. anywho, im trying to decide whether i should go with a cheap, older bike, (this will be my first sportbike) or take out a small loan and finance a newer bike, '99 or above.
any suggestions??? im not new to the cycle world, although i know rockets are way different than dirtbikes haha. but i plan to stunt it a little bit, at least wheelie and endo, and was thinking maybe i should be getting the older bike for that sort of stuff. sorry if im talking out of my *** here, but please!! i just need some help with this decision.

If you have experience on a dirt bike a sport bike will be nothing new to you. Get something newer and get used to the weight first after that you will be stunting. The newer bikes are much easier to stunt because they are lighter then the older. I have found that the f4 and the 600rr are very stunt friendly. I own a 900rr and it is a very aggressive and touchy on the trottle but love it but 400 lbs is harder then 360 on the newer 600s. Get a loan you won't regret it. Johnny

Based on your WTB ad, you better double what you have ready to spend if you want an F4i.
