Honda CR500. 4-strokes don't even come close!

Re: Without question...

Don't know about the 4-stroke bashing thing. I can wheelie my YZ250F until it runs out of gas or I fall asleep (which ever comes first).

Most, if not all, motocrossers are dead simple to wheelie.

As for streetbikes, any 1000cc sportbike will wheelie very easily.

Re: Without question...

I have a CR500... my third in 6 years... wheelies are almost too easy, even in 4th gear. But my built-for-tight-enduro XR250 is much easier to hold wheelies on... the engine is much more predictable and lacks that 'now-it's-time-to-go-to-the-moon' hit.

Honda VTR1000F is pretty easy... Flat torque curve and a rearward wieght bias makes it simple to balance and modulate the throttle anywhere in the rev range. Clutch it in 2nd or bounce it in 2nd or 3rd for all-day stand ups..

XR650L...if you can't wheelie this bike you need some serious seat time.

Someone else's.

DUDE, I'M STOKED YOU AXED ME THAT

AS SOON AS I WUZ AN EXPERT RIDER (AFTER TWO WEEKS) I COULD PULL MILE-LONG WHEELIEZ ON MY GSXR1000. NO OTHER BIKE, IN MY OPINION, COMEZ EVEN CLOSE, AT LEAST I DON'T THINK SO, AS I'VE ONLY RIDDEN A GSXR1000 EXCEPT WHEN I RODE MY COUSIN'Z MINI BIKE AROUND A DIRT PARKING LOT WHEN I WUZ 8.

ANYWAY, I CAN'T PULL MANY WHEELIEZ THESE DAYZ SINCE I'M STILL JUST A DISEMBODIED BRAIN FLOATING IN A TANK OF CHICKEN SOUP AT THE MAYO CLINIC. MAYBE SOMEONE CAN STRAP MY TANK ON THEIR TANK AND PULL SOME WHEELIEZ FOR ME?

My thoughts exactly. Any big bore, single, dual purpose bike will wheelie all day in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd with no effort or technique required.

 

[40740]

Without doubt the easiest to wheelie will be something like an XR650R or the like, ...especially if it's on stock gearing!

 

[pplassm]

You're all wrong.



Get a trials bike.

I've got an old dual-sport converted XR600 that might change your mind.

End of discussion

There you go. Nothing else comes close.

I second that.

You've obviously never ridden a Buell

Rolling along at 2500 rpm in first gear on my Buell M2 Cyclone, roll off throttle, then back on, bingo baby! Instant wheelie!!

 

[Sam_Freed]

Had a chance to ride an Aprilia Tuono awhile back. Not really sure why they even bothered to put a front wheel on it. Could have just put rubber caps on the ends of the front forks for take offs and landings.

We're scraping the bottom of the barrel now

I, apparently along with Gabe, am suprised that something like this would get posted in the news section with a link on the homepage. What, is this the Starboyz/D-Aces discussion panel now? In fact, I am so amused that I will put my money where my mouth is and write you guys an actual GOOD question so perhaps you might post it?? Stand by, it will be in your mail shortly. Gabe, I'll write you one too.

Re: We're scraping the bottom of the barrel now

Pardon me Abe, could you pass the Grey Poupon?

Don't be such an elitist. What is dragging your knee around a corner? It's just a stunt. No different from wheelies, stoppies, etc. except that it has the corporate sanctioned approval of various governing bodies to lionize it as a noble and "legitimate" use of a motorcycle.

Lighten up fella, and tell Chauncey to put a little less starch in your white collar next time.
