Which bike to wheelie?
 
Ok so after reading this thread

here

I know that the sv is no good for wheelies because of the oil starvation, so what would be a good bike to get on one wheel?

Obviously something with a lot of torque, probably a twin. What about the rsvr?

What are your suggestions?

Some of the Buell's are a popular bike amongst stunt riders due to the fact that they do not suffer from oil starvation.

Anything can be wheelied, its just a question of technique. The local scooter chavs demonstrate that with their 50cc peds.

You can always fiddle with the sprockets to make things easier as well.

Bike did a 5 most monotastic machines in an issue a while back. I'll see if i can dig it up for you.

Speed triple. Could be expensive to drop though

its not hard to wheelie a Buell, a mate has got 2 and he only has to set off slow and its rearing up. Sure he does it on purpose, he is a bit of an animal!!

With a bit of effort I can wheelie the CBR in first with a great big hefty pull up :D lol.

Personally I vote a Supermoto, they look a lot of fun :D :lol:
