    Interesting. I stand corrected (actually, right now I sit corrected).

    I thought a MV Agusta 750 F4 would power wheelie in 2nd gear under hard acceleration, without needing to use the clutch or provoke it in any other deliberate way.

    You'd think to get to 220km/h he would have to accelerate hard. If he hasn't had a power wheelie in 1st or 2nd, his bike or his wrist is broken.

    Jesus tittie fucking Christ.

    Imagine the way you roll the throttle on as you leave a set of lights. Got it? Right. Now hook second gear (not after a hard launch by the way), and as you are rolling the throttle again and ya get to about a quarter of the way round, dip the clutch for the briefest of moments. Just enough to spike the revs about 1000-1500 rpm. Carry on rolling the throttle as if you are riding away from the lights.

    BOOM. The front wheel is coming up as nice and smooth as you've ever seen in a video.

    But wait, there's more. As the wheel is coming up you're gonna want to get it high and throttle off. THIS IS A MISTAKE!!! What you actually want to do is gradually ease back on the power while it's still coming up.

    It'll take a while, and you'll get well fucked off with your retarded self no end, but you will learn to time it all right instinctively with practice.

    I have just described THE SAFEST way to do wheel stands. It has all been said before of course, but you lot seem to all be too lazy to use the search function. Power wheelies are in fact the LEAST SAFE way to wheelie. The bike is getting fucken fast, really fucken suddenly. Anything or anyone in the way is dead meat if you do it that way, and when it goes over (and it can do it with seemingly no warning) it hurts MUCH MUCH more.

    I usually encourage people to get the hang of it in second gear first, but the bike will be doing 100kph when things level off if you're on something half modern. So if it suits and you know your bike quite well, do it just the same in first gear.

    Remember. The slower you're going, the less it's gonna hurt.

    As you were.

    That's a good idea. It's too nice a bike to fuck up with stupidity.

    Why buy a fast bike if you're too afraid to use it?
