My buddy with a 2001 R1 bent his front forks doing them so I couldn't vote for the R1. He always does 11 o'clock stoppies....like at least 5 evertime he rides as well as rolling stoppies, and at 5200 miles his wheel came back into the plastics and radiator:( His head bearing also had to be replaced 2x in that time.
I've seen gixxers take the abuse time and time again without any damage visible to the eye....but I think all bikes will sustain some kind of damage eventually....I'm sure it's not good for the back wheel to come down from a height of 4feet on a regular basis.......:(
