I am not a stunt biker, but I can do simple stand up wheelie and ride it out for a bit quite away. I always hesitant to do anything crazy on bike due to any damage. Planning to get a good stunt bike in near future. Wondering what?s the best stunt bike in your opinion for a beginner?

Thanks..

Anything that you can easily get a stunt cage for in the UK.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

To start with, don't do crazy thing - just get a little better each time. I'd say when you can keep it around the balance point (ie wheelie for ever without running out of revs) is the sorta time you want to be considering a specific stunt bike, unless your bike has 'issues' with stunts generally.
I have fallen off a few bikes doing stunts, but the time I did it on a 'nice' bike it was easily avoided stupidity frankly.

Something cheap, already a bit tatty and cheep to replace bits on. Smile
No fairing as its just going to shatter when you fall off anyway.
Powerful enough breaks and a bit of low end poke and predictable power delivery.

Any old middleweight naked should do:
Old Bandit 600, SV650n, Divvy 600

I thought stunters avoid them because of oil starvation problems when on 1 wheel.

The bike I always hear is the one to go for is the cbr600f.

Yeah, but you can fix that by moving the oil pickup to the back of the engine (no idea how easy or hard that is).

Something with a dry sump engine, but overfilling conventional wet sumps is what they used to do, not sure if thats still common practice.

MT-03, wheelie junkies they are, dry sump too Laughing .
Like said old CBR600F's and F4i's.
