Whats better, loooong wheelie or knee down action?

I should be past the growing up stage but I'm still looking to do them. I give it a go in the largest car park near me but it's still not long enough really for 2nd gear and the CCTV cameras mean I only feel like giving it a go for 15mins at a time. If I could find somewhere decent I'm sure I'd crack it by the end of the Summer.

I revise my earlier answer wheelies are harder, knee down is smooth, wheelies are violent.

Fair play to ye mabozzer, I wish I could do em, I await ye nixt post wi intrist.

Haven't tried a wheelie in ages. In fact I haven't even really tried kneedown since the TD, roads are so rubbish compatred to the track, and the opportunity of nice smooth tarmac with the right traffic conditions etc hasnt presented itself...

I got my right knee down on a normal corner rather than a roundabout for the first time last week. Another biking achievement scratched off, just need to work on the left knee now.

Would like to try a wheelie but there is too much that can go wrong, and even if it goes right it's still really harsh on the bike.

Don't grow up, just get bigger toys.

i got my knee down not too long ago, unfortunately the rest of me went down too as i watched the bike slide into a cerb, then also saw the pavement quickly :/

Still can't get my knee down, not that I need to as I'm plenty quick as is on the roads, can do wheelies though, off the power and clutching them up not for long though need more practice

So bloody close to getting my knee down, think my body position is slightly off and the fact I'm not wearing sliders probably doesn't help either (inch less to actually lean, or at least thats my excuse )

Haven't managed a proper decent wheelie yet either, tried a couple of times but keep thinking im gonna end up binning the bike. The fact that I'm still on 33bhp probably doesnt help either.
