I know how to do wheelies and can get em pretty high (that's not too hard on an R1...) but want to learn rolling stoppies, sliding the rear tire, etc. What bike do you guys recommend if I want to get serious with this? I've heard that a used naked bike is a good choice. I've also been told to get a used dirt bike. What are your opinions? Eventually I want to be able to do them on an R1 without being scared shitless that I'll damage the bike every time.

Any used bike you feel comfortable on and don't care about. Be careful and wear gear!!!!!:crash

My top choice would be an SV650 (not the "S" model) or an old F3.

Y2KRedR1, I've been hearing that a lot. I think I'm going to go with that and maybe after I'm done convert it to a track bike.

No question about it, either a 4 stroke dirt bike, or any 600 Honda.
