at the moment im saving up because i want to buy a crashed bike cheap so i can strip it and use it for stunting, im not sure what bike to go for. i'll want to be putting crash bars on and rethals not decided if i'll put front lights on yet as i can get a daytime mot. also i'll want something were the parts arn't going to dry the out bank balance.
ive been thinking along the lines of bandit 1200, sports 600. ive got a 400 at moment so havn't ridden anything above that. has anyone got any good tips as to what bike to go for and maybe a good place to get one from?

The rs125 is used by a few people, not very popular, but featherweight and easily stoppieable. a bandit 1200 is probably going to be a bit heavy for stunting, the orks and rear shock would die. A mid-size supermoto is probably best...

All the bikes I've bought recently have been Cat C, it's ok when buying from a dealer i think or specializes in them, but if you buy from private, make sure everything is straight.
