crb Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm not into wheeling so I won't try it. Put a fat chick on the back of the blast it will definitely wheelie. The blasts we used in class wouldnt he out of their own way, that's what I'm going off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just_some_dude Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm just going to put this out there, stop thinking stock Blast and think modded Blast. A stock Blast can still do stunts, clearly not as well as most bikes.This is drag racing, but a stock 2009 Honda CBR 1000RR did a quarter mile in 10.738 seconds at 135.670 mph (could do better). A modified single cylinder Blast did a quarter mile 10.833 seconds at 127.43 mph.Blast Time SlipHonda CBR 1000RR Time SlipsA modified Blast is entirely capable of 'stunting'. It won't perform like other sport bikes while stunting, but can stunt. You don't have to go to the extremes here. It is not like a Blast owner is hopping on the handle bars and popping a wheelie.A modified Blast will likely outperform a sportbike in the curves.Still... my original question was if there were any stunt meetups.Keep it coming, though. You're not going to get me to believe that a Blast sucks because you read about it, not impressed with it's 'power', or rode stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet-Lee Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Funny......I have personally out run two R6's, a ZX10R and a CBR1000RR (all at the same time) in the pig trails in Northwest Arkansas... on my Blast.The rider of the ZX10R (coworker) regularly asked to switch bikes for afternoon rides after work.-Edit-I'm far from stock.

Jet-Lee Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) However' date=' like I mentioned.. the bike has very little to do with how well it does in the corners.[/quote']Either you're kidding or ...No, you've got to be kidding.There's a reason they don't race Bandits and instead use Gixxers...it's the bike.-Edit-There's no way this bike had anything to do with its win record... 52 firsts out of 73 total races. The rest were 2nd and 3rd with one 4th and one 5th; none lower. Only ten were ever made....so yeah, the bike has nothing to do with handling and cornering capability...whatever. By that logic, lets race some Harley's at Laguna Seca!!! Edited December 3, 2011 by Jet-Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet-Lee Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 First.. Hi' date=' Queerbait! Second.. Yeah, did you miss the part where I mentioned rider ability being the most important factor in this equation?[/quote']Queerbait? Is that really the best you can do?You said the bike has very little to do with cornering ability. Next time specify racing, AMA, street, whatever.Really? That's funny' date=' because I regularly see SV650s flat-out decimating liter bikes at the local road course. Maybe somebody tossed a little pixie dust in the suspension/crankcase? Yeah.. at the AMA level, all the riders are damn near equal in ability. However, we're discussing street rides.. not AMA sanctioned superbike races.Speaking of Buell and racing.. you probably want to avoid that topic, considering Buell's record in AMA racing with the Thunderstorm powerplant. Just a thought, really...?? After all, that might put a damper on your "It's the bike, Dude!!1!!!" theory.[/quote']Local road course...key word...you have people that don't know how to handle a liter bike. Put those SV650 riders on the liter bikes and they'll beat their own 650 times. I assume we're talking about an -R type liter bike? I mean, Harley's are liter bikes as well.AMA vs street racing? You race on the street? Squid.Who's talking about Buell's AMA record? I didn't bring it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although' date=' I kind of do think your bike is a giant pile of shit) [/quote']I understand, but you are the only one responding. I'll gladly debate with anyone.Stock form, they do suck for performance. No one (even JSD or myself) said otherwise.He was asking about stunters in his area. He rides a modified Blast, but that's OT.

Jet-Lee Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Right' date=' and I said his bike would do fine in the corners, even without modified suspension. What it wouldn't do is become a Japanese Supersport quality sportbike. I have zero doubt that you can outride your friend's ZX-10. If I had a quarter for every liter bike I destroyed with my puny motorcycle, I'd have enough to buy at least a couple 25¢ tacos. My question now is, when you swap bikes with your Ninja buddy, does he become the faster rider, or do you still out run him.. even on the Ninja?[/quote']Short answer - I was faster.Long answer - He always said he was afraid to ride it like I did, cause he wasn't comfortable to dig in to the corners like we did on our own bikes. True or not, I dunno, but he did handle his own bike very well.-Edit- He always stayed pretty close behind. It seemed that as I would pull away on his bike, it would give him a push to try harder. He never pulled ahead, though, just followed.1. Haterz gonna' hate.2. Common knowledge' date=' not as common as you'd think.3. They're all in jail, or asleep in mommy's basement.[/quote']1.

Jet-Lee Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) I've never tried to wheelie mine. It's popped up on shifts...but I prefer to keep both wheels on the ground. I have stoppied it twice, due to retards in cars; that was scary, don't wanna do that again.Maybe if I find a junker for cheap, I'll play around.It's possible, just not common because it's rather difficult when stock, as those videos show. You can tell they're stock (or close to) by the muffler and airbox. Edited December 3, 2011 by Jet-Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Anything is possible huh!You won't catch me doing a wheelie on purpose on a motorcycle! I did accidents stand my brute force up one day, that was a rush once all four wheels were back on the ground. Hell I jumped it one day screwing around that scared the Hell out of the wife, I might have hit the sort pile a little fast. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just_some_dude Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) 1000rr, I don't even understand what you're arguing, yet.It is what it is, a single cylinder motorcycle.The power to weight ratio definitely is not on it's side, but still the bike can stunt. Any bike can pretty much do some sort of stunt.You can wheelie a stock Blast it is just going to take more work. Maybe you just need more practice .We've pretty much established a stock Blast can wheelie. Watch the video in the quote.It's not hard to find someone who can't do something well. Ducati's must be pretty crappy bikes because one person can't do a burnout correctly.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSrpgmpg_OsWhich, by the way (maybe take a moment and count the cylinders below for me, looks stock too)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLkvX7g2nIU Edited December 3, 2011 by just_some_dude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'll be keeping my eye out for any good stunting info to show up in this thread. I have a 250 scooter that I've been having a hard time getting the front end off the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_some_dude Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I've actually wheelied a 50cc scooter. Put your feet on the ground, put some throttle on, let the front end come up, hop on . Furthest I probably went was 10 ft. maybe. I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but it worked for me .Bunch of scooter endos/stoppies/wheelies in the video below. Go to 5:35.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZUN0XoNm2I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 This thread settles it I'm convinced now. All my bikes are going on CL today and I'm gonna buy a Blast and mod the shit out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
