    Can anyone confirm this or can I practice some clutch wheelies on my little Spada with no major issues, aside from hurting my limbs and ego


    Cheers

    Edit - been reading and apparently its really bad for the forks might pass up and practice on a friends dirt bike : 3
    Why wheelie a 250 in the first place that's my question? Do you see the pros wheeling 250's only a few that have it on lock. Unless some extreme stunt artist then i wouldn't bother get a cbr600f4i or something with a bit of bottom end so you dont go through so much troubles just trying to bring the front wheel up. At least if you know you got a big bike you got the power so its just control from there, otherwise get a dirt bike and go nuts till death do you part.

    Err.
    Several of your posts aren't quite meshing with our 'kiwi attitude'. For a long time now kiwis have made do with inferior and cheaper stuff that you are used to having in the USA. We have a Can-Do / Will-Do attitude. So if someone cannot afford a nice big bike, or is limited to a 250 due to licensing restrictions....but wants to do a wheelie. Well/.////....We Can. So we will.
