    Anything can be wheelied (unless, of course, it has a shaft drive).

    Possible, yes. A good idea, probably not

    hell, even I can wheelie an RGV.. Just roll on a bit in first, then acclerate hard and give it a tug. If ya really want, slip the clutch slightly, but don't go too over board. My first decent wheelies was on an RGV250 actually

    150s probably won't unless you strain your arse off

    I can make my VTR250 pop a short abrupt sad mono without too much effort, so your RGV should be able to do better. Rolling, clutch in a bit, revs, clutch out rapidly, WEEEEEEE!!!. Be careful, find a big empty carpark with a surface free of gravel and perhaps a friend to pull the bike off you when/if you drop it.

    I could only just pop the front up on the FXR with a heavy backpack. Stoppies were piss easy and a lot of fun on it. Yet to try on the ZXR but will undoubtably attempt them later on. I would think that wheeling an RGV250 would be easy conidering the HP they put out and their low weight.

    It should wheelie off the throttle in 1st, if not then you may have a restricted horsepower model or a stuffed motor. In that case just bounce or clutch it up, both will work.

    Clearly cheap special effects. jrandom once told me that shaft-driven motorcycles couldn't be wheelied. Therefore this must be true...
