Would you rather buy.....
 
a used bike that was stunted or a used bike that was raced?


I wouldn't buy either one, just wondering

Id probably take the one thats raced, but it depends on the bike. A lot of stunt bikes get dropped a lot where as raced ones thats a little bit less likely. And most sportbikes are meant more for racing then to be stunted so Id assume that its not going to be quite as hard on the bike.

Raced, there's a better chance that it hasn't been starved for oil. Sport bikes are designed (more or less) like their race bike cousins. I haven't seen a manufacturer yet that has designed a solely stunt bike, except for a trials bike.

Thats a downfall, but like I said, Im taking my chances on a bike thats been ridden more like it was meant to be over being stunted.

Isn't that the purpose of a supersport bike?

I'd rather have a clean bike that was raced rather than a bike that the suspension/clutch is beat up and there has been extra stress on the frame....
