Default Thinking about getting one of these for beginner stunting

I want to learn to stunt, but don't wanna mess up my F4i.
I've seen a thread or two about stunting these, but no one really said how they liked it an how they performed.
What do you think?

They are fun, no doubt (I know a couple of friends that have them) but to stunt them?Your asking to taste pavement. better off saving up another $1K or so and buying a F2-F3 off craigslist (around $1K-2K) and working with that..

Are they super unbalanced or something? What makes them so hard to stunt?

F4i are great stunt bikes solid motor, light, good suspension, would def invest in a cage though thats a 1st but other then that its like anything else takes practice

I forgot to mention that I have an F4i, but would rather mess up a $600 pocket bike

I don't think its too bad of an idea. The smaller bike would be easier to man handle but it would also take a finer touch to balance I would think. It also won't crush you if it falls on you. I say go for it but I've never ridden one so I don't know for sure.

the are so compact that the BP is very low - which will result in alot of raseberries (i had a long paragraph written but F***ing CBRforum) just look for an F2/F3, you wont regret it.

(if you want something newer for a stunt bike, get another F4i or a kawi ZX-6R - best stunt bikes in the world)

Thanks for the attempt. I know what you mean about the forum. They sure are lucky there are plenty of cool people here. Maybe i'll just get a crash cage. I don't wanna mess up my daily riding, but i'll have to sacrifice something.

I agree f4i and 636 are the best stunt bike i also had a paragraph that didnt go through but you get the point just start out slow and you'll be fine with a cage or you can buy a piece and beat the hell outa it either way good luck
