Default R1 or R6 better for stunts?

i've ridden both, my R6 takes a little more effor and the R1 comes up much easier but feels less stable. does anyone know if one has a more ideal balance point? thanks

Seems like a no brainer to me...


All liter bikes seem twitchy especially in first... but its so much easier to get them up. The only thing I could see as being better on the 6 would be when u actually get it to the balance point it would be easier to stay there, but harder to get to the balance point. Then again i dont stunt ballz out, but my boy does on his gixxer 1k.

The R1 is going to come up eaiser cause its only like 20 more pounds and 60+ more HP....but yeh, i don't think theres a differnt for balance and ****...if you can wheelie one bike you can wheelie any bike..
