But from the pics I've seen of your bike I'd pick up a cheap bike to stunt cause that 6 is nicee
    Power wheelie as in just full throttle it? Yeah, I've done that and no tire lift at all. I heard R6's are hard to power wheelie, especially with stock gearing.

    Yeah, I am very timid from trying b/c I dont want to mess mine up. lol Not yet at least. haha

    bring the rpms up between 3-4k drop them off just a little bit not a big 500-1000 rpm then goose it. when you feel it coming up just back it out a little bit and hold it up there with the throttle. if you goose it throughout its gunna flip over on you. haha yeah i know what you mean ive seen pics of your bike its nice. i dont like stunting the repsol but i get bored at times haha. id like to build another stunt bike. i sold my stunt bike 6 months ago before i moved back to atl from la. you can definately get it up with stock gearing on an r6. takes a little more skill but will definately get up.

    The reason I said what I said in my first post is because I know a guy that thought he was a bad ass and decided to fuck around with a girl on the back and ended up wrecking and left a nasty scar on her leg where the peg went through it...Beautiful legs ruined by a jackass.
    haha im far from a bad ass. ive gotten my ass kicked off numerous times and i know it will happen again. but like i said before if i felt it were unsafe or she had never done things like that before it would have never happened.
