what is so good about a ice though .. what bike would be the fastest and the best handling bike?
Hardy#6
NRG's are great at handling, i would get a NRG if i was you :tup:

which is better to learn how to wheelie on because all my mates can wheelie there 125's for agess and they think 50's are a waste of time so i want to prove them wrong :pimp:

what engine size you on about for the typh? they all 50's? (i know the ice is)

i dont know what one you should go for but i will give my opinion on the ice.

as abz said, ICE's have alot of potential. Small, lite robust Frame, ready to take a bigger engine with modifications. There is so much you can do with the original engine too. you do have to put effort into wheeling it at stock, but with a few bolt on parts it will wheelie without trying.

50s are better for learning to wheelie, it gives you a technique rather then just power wheelying, a lot of people wheelie 125s by getting the front end up and accelerating, they have a higher top end, so thats why they can do it for longer. whereas if you have a technique you wont accelerate, you will hold it by balancing.

they ae all basically the same engine as your stalker unless you get a nrg liquid cooled version

you also need to look at how much you have to spend. whether you need underseat storage or not for college or work etc

theres loads of things you need to look at but there just as goo as each other in loads of ways

look out for a bargain and snap it up
