Oh, I forgot to add, wheelies are for bold boys and shouldn't be done on public roads. A mate of mine was done for it, but got off very lightly. I've only 1 photo of my starting a wheelie on a closed road, and I'm that hard that I don't need a helmet, just a monkey hat and not gloves LOL

my fella could wheelie the NC but told me I would have no chance as its really difficult. his blade spends more time on one wheel than 2 and with much more power and speed i love being pillion when he does as I know I'd never have the bottle to do it myself on a bigger bike.
I am sooo jealous of him tho!!
He was gonna teach me on his mtx but after I buggered into a ditch on it and chippied my shin bone I think I'll stick with 2 wheels for now!! :lol: lol

Comes up in 6th if not careful too.

3x 6th gear attempts, lol :whistle:

On more serious not road bike will come up with some encouragement from the clutch in first, once up change to second, will hold up but not hold for long, plus as said not good as oil pic up is in bottom of sump and could risk engine damage if pull so big one. All above sound Ok till say that my RVF road bike has not been on the road for 3 years now :oops:
