I stunt a raptor 700 right now and I think a quad is the easiest way to learn. You dont have to worry about balance. I would learn on the quad first untill you can get rear brake control down so you wouldnt end up looping the bike. Just find a flat parking lot and play with the tire pressure till they are even and you will go straight.

I have a crf50 with a 88cc big bore kit. It will definately teach you rear brake control and help get the feel of bp. I recommend a Honda. I have looped every bike I have ever owned and ended up in the hospital on more than one occassion but i'll never stop trying. At least with the 50 I get up and get back on. Plus they can take a beating.

I've never had good luck on 50s, I just don't feel comfortable on them and I've ended up with some pretty good road rash as a result! I'm about 6'1" and 175lbs, I have an 04 CRF450R that I practice on and I love it. I have a lot of friends that ride 50s, and they are always trying to get me to buy one, but my 450 has done good for bp and rear brake practice.

450's are sick! Have you seen mooreports new vid? Check out 50stunt.com he's got a trailer on there of his new vid. He stunts the hell out of his 450. Makes me want a supermoto stunter

I did see that video a while ago, that guy does some pretty cool stuff with that bike, and with it being so light compared to a street bike he can flick it around pretty easy I'd imagine. ESD made some nice stuff for that 450 too, could you imagine how fun that thing would be to ride on the streets if youwere tomake it street legal... or even if you didn't?
