Managed a couple of smallish power wheelies this morning, giving the VifFerraRi some handfuls on the way to work. It's a bit harder than the FahrtSturm, which wheelied very readily off the throttle at low-mid revs, whereas the VifFerraRi is a bit heavier, carries the weight further forward, and develops peak torque/HP around 9k RPM.
But it's still satisfying. :headbang: And fun.

How much trouble can you get into doing them though? Can you be sure that people whom you thought would admire your prowess and big nads aren't going to going to take exception to you enjoying yourself? :spudwhat:

Jesus wept. I can't help it but for some strange reason the word "moron" flashes before my eyes. Repeatedly.

Yes, I do think that this sort of testosterone-charged willy-waggling gives all bikers a bad name. Even worse, is that when conducted as "described" it will probably get people badly hurt or killed.

I am as big a fan as anybody of skillful stunting. But in an appropriate place at an appropriate time. Please.

Probably just waiting for a post from Death_Inc here are we?

Only time i popped a wheelie on a road bike was one sunny day a couple'o months back where i had the partner on the back and a GTO with mid-life-crisis-man<sup>tm</sup> beside me.

And i got a whack on the skull-cap for that little mistake.

I assume we're (where just for hitcher?) counting big planned mono's and not the gentle lift of the front wheel when hammering it out of a 2nd gear corner?

Me to MR, I did one draggin of Gixerboy on full power, didnt even mean to, but it was cool as! would love to do it as and when I wanted but it scares me a bit to be honest, flipping etc.

But I must admit, that almost all my wheelies (apart from one big, stupid, somewhat clumsy and one from the traffic lights last year, which I immediately decided was a mistake) are more or less unintended, and almost always conducted away from spectators, as that's not the point, for me at least.

Bollocks, dude, just whack the throttle open on the K2! Where's the hassle?

FWIW, I entirely agree with Hitcher on the utter foolishness of doing 200kph-plus, or even 100kph-plus, wheelies on the road, just because your bike *can*.

Unfortunately the original post, in my opinion, is an excellent argument for why bikes like R1Aaron's are sometimes a bad idea. For some people.

Popping the front a little, away from the lights, can be forgiven. As can lifting the rear coming up to them. The keys are speed (as in a lack thereof), control, restraint and discretion.

But high-speed wheelies and other hard-out penis-waggling stunting should, like other forms of masturbation, be performed away from taxpayer-funded facilities.

Eg, I can not afford repairs if I fuck it up. Seriously, I am still paying off the bike. I know about 80% of the people out there are in the same situation and still some have the balls to give it a go... good on em and I have respect for em. I have tried wheelies before, every single time I muckup a landing, I have visions of wrecking my precious Ohlins fork internals, my precious DID chain, which I'd rather wear out at the track doing laps.

I have "wheelied" as in getting it up, carying it on for a few seconds maximum and then landing it but I mean, I can't get it up nicely everytime, go up through the gears and end up doing 210kmph on the back wheel (which is entirely possible on my bike with the right rider). It is all about practice. One day, when I can afford repairs or a second decent bike, I might give it a proper go.

P.S. With mordern 600cc+ sports bikes, I think you'd find it rather hard to do under 100kmph wheelies. Infact, it would require a hell of a lot more skill to keep your proper wheelies under a 100Kmph.

There's no sweeter feeling than being at some traffic lights when some dick in a so called fast car (normally a he anyway) fancies his chances revving like a freak. Then he pulls off, you give it some right, glide past with the front end rising making him look like a complete dork, then you settle down to a relatively law abiding speed while he speeds off like a banshee. You know you could out do him. You don't. Live smugly in the knowledge that you could, any time.

With a couple of young kids a wife and a good life I'd rather not risk loosing all of that either by being banged up in prison being used as some drug crazed psychos bitch because I killed some innocent bystander, or die and force my wife and kids and the rest of my family and friends to suffer the pain in loosing a loved one.

My KX is awesome. Everytime you open up the throttle, you get a wheelie, or wheelspin. As for the CBR, I don't wanna try anything that may result to losing my beloved licence.

17th December 2004, 12:12
Everything in its time and place. Must agree, I am all for stunting it in a controlled fashion at an appropriate venue. I like my license, and I dont want to wreck either a) my bike (and me !! :doctor: ) ; or b) someone watching or thier property. Like I always say, its not you I worry about, its the fu$%knuckle who plows into you I worry about.
Also if you get busted and losse your license, you lose ALL your license and thus get to enjoy many fine forms of public transport, such as buses, trains and hitching :argh:

True, I know. You're just showing your maturity there mate. Hey, once you get that FXR going, you'll be Mr Wheelie...


Infact, it would require a hell of a lot more skill to keep your proper wheelies under a 100Kmph.

My point igzackly. Like you say, with a big bike, high-speed wheelies are more about big balls and throwing caution to the wind than any particular mad skillz. Yes, yes, I know some skill is required, but it all starts with risk acceptance. Personally, I'd like to think I'm starting to grow out of the big-balls-and-throwing-caution-to-the-wind phase. Hurty things seem to happen to me with reasonable regularity when I let myself slide back into it.

Oh, yes, and to Mister R1 'dissing people who want to live for a long time' Aaron above, well, dude, I'll be happy to come round and put you out of your misery any time you want. Since you're obviously a civic-minded individual, I'm sure you'd prefer that to imposing the cost of a messy motorcycle accident on society in general.

Lol, the only reason why I am bothering with the FXR is cause I wana learn wheelies on it. When I found out how much you sold your FXR to Tony for, I was like :crybaby:. I didn't know if the amount I was going to offer would have been too little/offensive so I didn’t bother. Silly me. Now I am in the hunt for a new motor again.

Anywhoo… Mr. R1/KDX, if I say anything to contradict your riding, I'll be running into the risk of being hypocritical. It's just that we all have different standards of safety (of our own and the public), so I can't say my standards are correct. I just hope that you have better judgment in real life than what your post indicates.

Silly you, indeed! You should have given me a yell. I wasn't interested in squeezing however many extra hundred dollars or whatever out of it, it didn't make a big enough difference to me to do a proper 'get the best price' exercise. And I'd make the world's worst salesman.

I just didn't want to spend a minute longer or another dollar looking after the thing, and so long as I got more than the wreckers were likely to pay, it was all good. Didn't I *say* that in my post about it? I was expecting to hear from you.

Ah, well, it's Frosty's now... fear the power!

I LOVE EM TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Problem is the 400 needs to be clutched up so everything over like 40cm get a bit hairy cause she comes up very very fast. Had to stop doing them cause i had the seals and oil changed and the mechanic told me to keep the front wheel on the ground :baby: :weep: :weep: . Don't want to blow the new seals case i'm trying to sell. But just wait till i get a 600 :eek: :headbang: :headbang:

I've gotta say, I love them as well. The feeling of floating on the back wheel is out of this world, just something magical about it. And yes the looks I get when people realise I just mono'ed onearmed is kinda very cool!! However, I love my bike, I love my life, I love my g/f, I love my daughter, so I try and pick and choose my time and place well. Fastest I've had pre accident from standstill, 4th gear 170km/h. Fastest post-accident, 140km/h 3rd gear. I'll keep wheelieing as long as they make bikes with two wheels.

I guess I'm obliged to answer this one......
First,wheelies are not dangerous if done properly and in the right places,but many of the members of the public don't know this,and often probably think you're outta control.It's really funny the different 'hand signals' you get from different folks,both positive and not.
The speed thing is difficult,it is harder to wheelie at lower speeds,I'm usually doing about 100 when I pull her up,then usually get to about 180ish at times.Like most things on a sportbike,they're more comfortable at higher speeds than legal one's.
At the risk of being labeled a (insert you favorite insult here...),I also will continue as I do,to me these activities are what I enjoy about a motorcycle.When they give me somewhere legal and accesible to do it I will go there,but for now the roads gonna have to do.

Fuck mate, would rather ride with you coming past on one wheel any day out the back blocks than have to deal with the pond scum on the motorways that seem out to kill me!

On the way to Paeroa earlier in the year, me being newbie, I was struggling in the wind and Death comes by up on one wheel looking far more stable than I! I was a greater risk to the public riding along near the 100k mark than he was at just faster than that.

thank goodness i thought i was the only one left, i always like to see someone else riding hard and doing stands and stoppies and shit.just as long as you do this stuff moderatly safely then its all good fun.just ignore all the fags on this site who say dont do this and dont do that , i sometimes wonder why some people even get a bike they may as well catch a bus.

How do you pretend to be fast on the road ?? Have a Guy that does Mono's on a R1 here & video's them to . From what I hear & have seen he's pretty good at it . But as i found out from year's of mono's on dirt bike's you will go over at sometime . Not a worry when at a beach or farm, but flip on the open road can be very different & cause yourself & other's harm . WE all have something that does it for us when we ride . Stoppy's, Mono's ,Two wheel drift's ,Track Day's . All we have to remeber is that if thing's go wrong will anyone else get hurt from it ,if so it may not be the right place to do it . So go somewhere which is Have fun but not at other's Cost

I love wheelies and stoppies, and burnouts.
I just cant remember how to do them well, might get some practice in when the supermarket car parks go emtpy after xmas
However i have to agree, there is a line between being a stuntsperson (not all are guys), and an arrogant dick.
The boy racer scene has proved this to us

How did you do that? Reach into my mind and say all the stuff I would have said, especially the family bit.
For good or bad wheelies and stoppies are addictive and like a lot of you I find the whole riding experience is a buzz right from the moment you start putting your gear on. You take on another persona and its a happy place. BUT, I also want to visit that happy place the next day, the next week and for years to come so some discretion is required. Biff baff said it "There's a time and place". You're right Death Inc, the track may be the right place but none of us can just pop around the corner to the track for an hour of fun.
I personally don't find wheelies dangerous so long as you remember you and the bike are a projectile and if you loose it/flip/whatever, momentum will carry you+bike directly forward give or take 10-15 degrees. This is always my first consideration (being such a considerate bastard) to ask myself if it goes wrong who is in harms way. Never without clear open visibility ahead, or towards intersections, pedestrians, crowds or furry animals (exceptions being anyone into rap music or any other activity that annoys me). In fact that's really it, check ahead, clear road -GO. Just make sure it's a case of do unto yourself and not others.
Yes some could argue I have passed cars on the back wheel but same principle applies - my momentum would not send me into reverse.
Good to see that there are more like minded riders around and we are not twenty something juvenile delinquents, we're 40 something delinquents still able to get a buzz.
Do it safely Guys

Yes, I do think that this sort of testosterone-charged willy-waggling gives all bikers a bad name. Even worse, is that when conducted as "described" it will probably get people badly hurt or killed.

I am as big a fan as anybody of skillful stunting. But in an appropriate place at an appropriate time. Please.Snap!!! Was thinking the same thing myself.

A have a go day isn't the same as a proper race and you're not up against the best riders the club has to offer

At club days you can now get day licences so you dont have to wait for the have a go days,next is the 20th Jan I think.

Fast on the road,I couldn't really give a toss about,but I've seen a few guys who think they're fast front up at club days and most of them find they're not quite as fast as they thought they were

I don't have a road bike capable of going fast anyway and my bucket (unless it was a kart track) or running the sidecar against a R1 wouldn't be a even competition on the track, although the sidecar might beat you off the line and then I could make it seem fairly wide :rolleyes:

Jesus wept. I can't help it but for some strange reason the word "moron" flashes before my eyes. Repeatedly.

Yes, I do think that this sort of testosterone-charged willy-waggling gives all bikers a bad name. Even worse, is that when conducted as "described" it will probably get people badly hurt or killed.

I am as big a fan as anybody of skillful stunting. But in an appropriate place at an appropriate time. Please.

No, he was calling you a 'moron'. And if he was Bugs Bunny, he might have called you a 'maroon'.

The big deal with grammar is that, unfortunately, there are a bunch of literary eddicated grumpy old farts on this forum. If you're a good chap who doesn't annoy them, they don't mind typos and grammatical stuff-ups. But if you come across as a twat, be prepared for the occasional prod about the fact that your communication style paints you as one of the great unwashed.

You see, respecting the sanctity and importance of language isn't anal. It's what we do as a rearguard action against the stupidity of the mob.

Ok, I know a poster here who doesn't worry about grammar or spelling, but who in real life is very intelligent, well spoken and concise. I wish people would stop taking themselves so seriously on the net. Get over it, you are not going to change their ways. And in reality the English we speak today is no doubt a degradation from how it was spoken and written a long time ago, at least in the eyes of those that used it. Languages, like people, constantly evolve.

well said onearmedbandit. This thread was started to share fun wheelie experiences with other like minded people, not to bag some1 for having fun or bad grammar. I have only just joined KB and only did so to chat with other people who love riding bikes as much as i do, man was that a mistake, so far i have had to check that i havnt joind a knitting group or some kind of freaky english grammar on line class. if i have said anything that appalled, outraged, upset humiliated any1, i apoligise. but rather than filling a thread that i thought would be interesting with negative opinions, why not start a thread to talk about all the idiots that piss you off. In my opinion this site is for people to discuss, comment on a wide range of topics, how comfortable would somone be replying to this thread when all they will get is ridicule, whitch i too am now guilty of. should not every1 be treated as an equell regardless of age, ability, and grammar skills?

Meh. Fairy nuff.

I too have known people who come across well face-to-face, but lack written language skills, and I think that's a shame.

It's no huge extra effort to spell and grammatise reasonably correctly when writing. Why *not* do it? I don't enjoy having to squint at a post trying to decipher someone's unpunctuated misspelled ramblings. I think it's a bit rude to be sloppy when communicating and thereby pass the cognitive burden onto the reader.

But yes, it's a small thing. I'll rant no further.

And R1Aaron, dude, nobody wants to diss you personally. Your post about wheelies was always going to be controversial. Take a hard pill and move onto some other topics, the forum's tone generally is quite good.

I have some mates who are great guys. Most of em ride liter bikes and quite regularly are on the limiter of 299. When you look at their front tyres, you'll think they just came back from a race day or something. And to answer your original question of how fast have some of us gone at the back wheel, my mate on the CBR1000RR has gone over 250 on his. Now this sort of riding is still questionable. People will still object doing it on public roads. Yet I am still OK with it cause let's face it, what were they made for if you can't have a bit of fun on them anyway. I know there is the track but it is not practical to go to the track every week and so and soforth.

However non of these guys appear to be arrogant pricks. They are not up themselves. They may be highly talented but they don't go around saying that to every other person. Unlike you. That is why you annoy the fuck out of me!

but no, because of some strange stigma attached to respecting our mother tounge, and appearing vaguely intelligent, many young people give no priority to improving their ability to speak OUR BLOODY LANGUAGE! what can be done about it? I'm all ears for suggestions.
w3rd

Since most teenagers are, to say bluntly, dickheads, schools end up being total crap toward the good kids, as the school has to lower itself to meet with the lowest common denominator. If a couple of kids are dickheads, they will treat the rest of them as dickheads i.e. the whole class staying in for lunch cause of a couple of kids at the back of the class throwing darts.

When will we be given licences to kull these infidel homies! :angry2:

Hmmmm, I did. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=7112&page=13&pp=15 And guess what? Same shit in there as well.

I have some mates who are great guys. Most of em ride liter bikes and quite regularly are on the limiter of 299. When you look at their front tyres, you'll think they just came back from a race day or something. And to answer your original question of how fast have some of us gone at the back wheel, my mate on the CBR1000RR has gone over 250 on his. Now this sort of riding is still questionable. People will still object doing it on public roads. Yet I am still OK with it cause let's face it, what were they made for if you can't have a bit of fun on them anyway. I know there is the track but it is not practical to go to the track every week and so and soforth.

However non of these guys appear to be arrogant pricks. They are not up themselves. They may be highly talented but they don't go around saying that to every other person. Unlike you. That is why you annoy the fuck out of me!

:finger:

sorry man take a breath count to ten, na fuck it count to 10,000

just kidding. 250kph on the back wheel god dam would love to see that, i have issues trying to land anything over 190kph, had the worst tank slapper when i landed the 244. as for being an "arrogant prick" fully i guess i have always looked up2 people who could pull off the wikd tricks, now thats me. now that i think about it they were arrogant 2. as for annoy the fuck out of you, well if you let something that some arrogant prick said on the net annoy you there aint a whole lot i or any1 else can do about that.

250kph on the back wheel god dam would love to see that, i have issues trying to land anything over 190kph, had the worst tank slapper when i landed the 244.He had the same problem with landing it at speeds over 200 with his 02 R1. He thought that it would someday make him bin-it.

However since he has had the honda with the electronic steering damper, he reckons he has never ever had a tank slapper and probably never will. Even when landing it at over 200 with the front wheel crossed sideways, it'll wobble for a bit and correct itself nicely.

Have you got a damper on yours? It won't be a good as the electronic one probably but it'll help lots.

**R1**
20th December 2004, 16:53
na no damper, when i first got it i thought i neede it but then i sorted the rear suspension out and got rid of the head shake, i wouldnt mind one just for wheelies though. no doubt i will bin mine one day from landing crossed up but thats the price of fame i guess

Sorry,maybe i shoulda explained better......
The 12 would come up up to about 180k,then you just hook third and wind her up ect,ect(not actually pull it up at 250......sorry).If you kept the front up enough and kept changing gears I guess a 300k wheelie isn't out of the question
Remember too,the 12 was easier than the busa,different weight distribution-shorter/taller too.

That reminds me. Quite a few years back, when I was still a groomer at WMCC, Robert Holden came in for a chat. Climbs on the shop GN I'd just washed and wheelies it from a standstill, all the way up the drive way at not much more than a walking pace. Stops, turns around and wheelies it back down.

He climbs of the thing, hands over the keys and sez "Thats gutless for a 250." Ummmm Robert, it's a 125.

i have lost my licence many a time and paid a small fortune out in fines(probly enough to buy a new o4 R1) but at this point in my life im not willing to stop riding i dont like bussing and the copperz cars are so slow, i have put serious thought into ditching the plate painting the bike black and F@$k the law all together

And some people never learn. Why don't you go racing? I was in Wanganui in the weekend and saw many wheelies. Some were just sheer power and lifting the front end several inches as riders were trying to gain the best drive out of corners etc and others were more intended.
As for an audience ------ HUGE. You can throw away your number plate and pull big ass wheelies and stoppies all day in front of thousands who will appreciate your skills, rather than pedestrians thinking "there is another compensator" (for small dick)

As I said in an earlier post, I did that in Christchurch last year, the cell-phone texts were flying thick and fast as I cruised past the Sumner foreshore in my 'old-school' hot rod with wild paint, xtra-large bonnet-scoop, wheelie-bars etc, they obviously had seen nothing like it, looking along the footpath it was like a 'Mexican Wave' of heads turning - and I didn't need to spin a tyre, the mega-deep V8 rumble let them know the 'lorry' was passing!! :niceone:

actually whats more fun is tagging along to one of their 'drag trains' and blowing down the middle of two cars while they dragging (yes i realise this is dangerous and irresponsible etc etc etc), actually popped a wheel after i passed them which of course would have pissed them off so much more....

p.s AZAA if your still looking for a GN250 my old one is still around town, could track down my mate i sold it too and see if he still has it/wants to sell - email me

wheelies are awsome, i have a honda CJ250T which is a road bike but its all been customized so the exhaust is nicly away from the ground for wheelie perfection...first time i attempted a wheelie was on a Honda100 and i fell off but its sooo much fun.

i enjoy doing stoppies, trying to do a wheelie and crazy stuff like that.
i personally think if you practice them some where quiet and master doing it, then do it wherever. of course with certain exclusions

Go R1 i agree. My misses texts and drives at the same time it freeks me out. Go hard man. dont let the woosies tell ya how to ride. I love wheelstands but i am a wheelstand cripple. Rolling burnouts and rear wheel steering is more my thing hahaha. Are you going to the track today? There will be some great racing this weekend. Its only $15 for a weekend pass.

And I can confirm that I've been travelling at over 200K on a nice straight bit of (private..) traffic free road when a certain hooligan on an R1 passed me on one wheel.

Kinda kewl if you ask me. But then again I trusted his skill. Otherwise I probably would have shat my pants.
