Get a dirt bike and learn in a paddock - or go to wheelie school.

Dont bother, I can wheelie dirt bikes as it sometimes comes in handy getting over stuff when racing enduro.

If you do it on the road, you just look a kn*b.

Apparently they're easy to wheelie (if you know how I s'pose lol), but if you're doing long wheelies (mile or so) the engine suffers from oil starvation due to the design of the sump IIRC. Definitely cheaper to learn of a dirt bike.. costs next to nothing WHEN you get it wrong

apparently to do it on gas you ride the bike it first up until you hit your powerband then close the throttle and crack it right open. I've tried it before, didn't work lol. meh
Scower youtube there's a few guides on there, like the one josh linked

Oooh you have a faired bike - do post pictures

Quickest way to blow up your engine the front cyclinder gets starved of oil but if you got money to throw away go for it.
