what size bike (cc or horsepower) do you need to start doing ok-ish wheelies?
...and yes, I doubt my riding or bike will be in any position to do wheelies, but I would like to know anyway

50cc street magics do em good, I am learning on my 180cc and getting better im still shit though..

afast135 can do them really mint on his 150cc scooter

With a bit of talent you can just about wheelie anything! If you were only starting to wheelie I would recommend a dirt bike firstly, say a 250cc. :spudbn:

k, with that noted, take for instance the bike I'm getting on Saturday: Kinetic GF170 (15bhp & 15Nm torque)... what technique would be used to get the front up... and keep it up?

I'm not sure about that bike imparticular? Clutch can get most bikes up with the right balance of clutch and throttle, but that technique needs a bit of talent!

Bugjuice, download 'more practice' from here. If I can do it mate so can yourself. That should give you motivation to learn.

In the meantime, here's a kid in Korea showing that you can loft anything. Bike: Hyosung Exiv125, single DOHC.

don't need the motivation, believe me!!
The tips are kinda for everyone who wants to know, not just me, but I'm just as keen as a bean to find out..

fuk, you make the wheelies look easy as..
my problem (and it shows, especially from your clips) is that I keep leaning into the bike as it comes up, which is obviously pushing the weight forward and not letting me come up. I've gotta stop doing that..
Yours are just off the power, huh?
good clips too
