i can understand this, especially on such a beautiful bike as the 10. u wanna get it sussed on some shitty bike and then when youve got it, try it on the 10.

not everyone is as much of a God as u, jon...

A wheelie dont have to be that high to get a feel for whats going on though Gabs. I just always think 180bhp bike and wheelie go hand in hand. If you twist the throttle open on a bike with that much power, then that should be a wheelie of some kind :tongue3:

I know loads of people have been on the wheelie days and got the front up a bit and then they still can't wheelie their own bike. The mental block must still be there.

its ok as they're on bandit 1200 which has a short wheel base idealy made for wheelies and they show you rolling on the power in first?which my friend if you over snatch it off the back you go,i know i did it on my blade  and made a right mess? so now i clutch in second or third even? ask G he'll tell ya his bike does it in third at 85 mph and sits to 137mph i know?hehe G the mile straight at henly?yyeeehaaa :headbang:

know what you mean mate

the prob i have is im a visual learner, not a theorist

i can read stuff till it comes out of my ears but unless im actually show how to do it then it wont work with me

bit like my kayaking, i couldn't do a full roll, read loads and watch'd loads still nothing

10 mins in a pool with a instructor

2 goes and have never looked back

Jon the only thing with the ten is that your clutch control as to be spot on otherwise you will be bouncing down the road....

You seen me I can get it up a little bit but its far to aggressive to feel comfy so I can't ride them out :-(    starting a wheelie at 80 odd mile an hour doesn't appeal to me...

I would like to wheelie but if I could bring it up at 50 then I'd be happy.... not so easy .... maybe sprockett change is coming soon..... :icon_thumleft:
