Me and Sunny went for a ride out to Grain today. A local dead end road. Ideal for wheelies, stoppies and KD.

Took a few snaps on my phone. still waiting for the proper photos from a mate who brought out a proper camera.

Few pics I took before me mates arrived just of my bike.

Yo Yo.

I can Change from 1st to 2nd sitting down. And once im in second, then wheelie can go for as long as the road is straight really. Got it that balanced. Thumbs Up

Cant change gear standing up as I have my left foot on the pillion peg. Id rather cover the rear brake than be able to change gear standing up! Laughing

And standing up on front pegs is hard as theres alot of weight on the bars, Causing shit loads of tank slap on landings.


Stand up wheelies, I run out of road on that straight, Ive got it at balance point now and just hold it until there is no road left. Got way too comfortable to be honest.

Think the VFR dropped a valve tonight though, So Will be sorting that out and probably selling both 400s to buy a hornet or something which will take better to wheelies.

I'd thought the ZXR400 had broken down, 'til I realised it had made it into a single photo.

400s are fine to stunt. Can do anything on them given practice and gearing it up.

BUT, Drop a 400, and fairings are not only harder to get hold of, they are pricey too.

Never know I might keep it. Im looking at moving to Cyprus in April anyway, So I will get myself a Gilly Runner 180SP once im out there. Doing Seat standers down the Ayia Napa Strip in front of all the English girls. They love it. Laughing Cool

Ive never flipped a bike. I flipped my moped though.

Balance point on a stand up wheelie is really, Really high. In most of my photos im actually just outside balance point. The first photo of me doing a stand up I am about half way up to the point of balance.

i cant help but keep laughing at your delousion. 600s kick out 100bhp roughly like lukes r6 and he can wheelie in 3rd ffs, you need managable power to do some decent wheelies, sure a 400 has enough power to flip it which would seem enough but most of its power is close to midrange to hit max torque to get the wheel up so you soon run out of revs. just get a 600 to cripple you wont complain. Thumbs Up

I cant help but laugh at your lack of knowledge about something you think you know alot about.
I know somebody who can do Highchair circles on a TZR125. and as for "Running out of revs". I think you are getting "lukeVFR style wheelies" and "Stunting" mixed up mate!

Ive been working on slowing my wheelies down, I can get them down to about 20mph at the moment. 20mph in first is barely half way through the revs.

The main reason I want to go hornet / bandit 600 is the fact that parts are cheaper and theres less to break on them. Also things like Stunt cages and wheelie bars are available "off the shelf". Theres no such thing as a Crash cage for an NC30 I don't think.

The NC30 makes a cracking stunt bike because its so small. Jus

Go Hornet, it's a much better wheelie bike than the Bandit 6, for me anyway, much more low end grunt. Thumbs Up And good luck trying to find a crash cage for it, i've been looking since i had the bike, still can't find one. Embarassed

have one made? might cost a bit but will be worth it in the event of a smash/drop.

whatever you say binge, am not gunna argue with you. i know a 600 has more power than a 400 so i've made my mind up. Thumbs Up
