Street or Stunt? Get the Best of Both with Us

Street or Stunt? Get the Best of Both with Us

Sport bikes represent freedom, power, and precision. But when it comes to purpose, every rider falls into one of two camps—street or stunt. Each style has its own demands, its own thrills, and its own identity. At EPM Motorsports, we understand that passion doesn’t fit into just one mold. Therefore, we offer stunt & street package conversions in Chicago, engineered to let you dominate both lanes of the riding world.

Whether you’re a city cruiser or a trick artist, this guide will help you understand the difference between street and stunt bikes—and how we help you make the most of both.

What’s a Street Bike?

Street bikes are high-performance machines designed for everyday riding on public roads. They’re built for agility, comfort (to a point), and power. Their focus is on acceleration, responsive handling, and high-speed capability, while maintaining just enough compliance to be street-legal.

Key Features of Street Bikes:

  • Aerodynamic fairings for wind resistance and speed.
  • Aggressive ergonomics with tucked-in riding posture.
  • Tuned suspension for smoother road contact and cornering.
  • Performance tires that grip hard asphalt surfaces.

Street bikes like the Yamaha R6, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, or Suzuki GSX-R are meant for the rider who thrives on curves and city energy. They’re fast, sleek, and efficient—but when you want to take it beyond performance and into showmanship, the standard street setup won’t cut it.

What’s a Stunt Bike?

Stunt bikes are bred for control, balance, and precision, not speed. They’re engineered for verticals, stoppies, rolling burnouts, and all the tricks in between. Nevertheless, every component is tweaked to support repetitive impact, enhanced maneuverability, and rider safety.

Key Features of Stunt Bikes:

  • Crash cages and subcages to protect critical parts during drops.
  • 12 o’clock bars and hand brakes to help with balance and control.
  • Shortened gearing to improve low-speed throttle response.
  • Reinforced subframes and stunt pegs for trick performance.
  • High-rise handlebars for better leverage.

Stunt bikes look different, feel different, and ride differently. They’re tools of expression—built for the lot, the stage, or the social feed.

Street or Stunt? Why Not Both?

You shouldn’t have to choose between stunt-ready performance and street-worthy style. Therefore, at EPM Motorsports, we bring the best of both worlds together in one ride.

We modify your bike with dual-purpose precision so it looks clean on the road, but can instantly deliver when it’s time to wheelie. We can add protective stunt essentials, such as crash cages and rear hand brakes, without compromising your bike’s street look or comfort.

Our street-stunt conversions are perfect for:

  • Urban riders who want to mix function with flair.
  • Weekend warriors who hit both city roads and stunt lots.
  • Content creators needing bikes that can switch gears in seconds.
  • Anyone passionate about performance, on all fronts.

Whether you ride an F4i, R6, Ninja, or GSX-R, we bring experience, customization, and craftsmanship to every build. No two riders are the same, and neither are our packages. We consult with you to match performance parts, safety gear, and visuals with your riding style and how you want to evolve.
