180km/h wheelies on a CBR250RR?

Get your hand off it mate...

Probably. If it's got the super-secret turbo challenger button, it's bound to have derestricted gearing and a changed 6th rev limiter.

When doing 180 it doesn't make any noises like it's hitting a limiter and keeps accelerating (albeit slowly). I'm assuming that to be 190-195. However, I'm very sorry if I tread on your toes, god knows I need to prove myself on the internet too, but the point (that you so obviously missed) was that cbr250's don't do much past 180.

Before you get all ansy and start quoting manuals, maybe you'd like to consider context. Maybe my bike does have a destriction plate and rev delimitation gears. It's possible. Doing wheelstand's at 180kph on it, however, is unlikely. And just in case you missed it again, Doing wheelstand's at 180kph on it, however, is unlikely.

Wait... Yamaha are testing a new bike at 8:30pm on a Sunday in winter? Something fishy is going on here. Either this is someone's alt taking the piss, or this is skater_boi's kid brother.

**k14** · 20th June 2004, 21:49

Yeah didn't you hear. Rossi and the gang flew in today to test the new gp bike at puke. They are doing it at night so no one can see what it looks like.

Hmmm,I rode a CBR race preped bike from AMPS last year the thing was fast but wasn't gonn'a get the front in the air at 180km.
This is starting to sound like the beginings of another "I crashed me bike thread".Don't really think your sugestions would help a new rider much at all really.What don'cha like the guy or summint??

and remember those bloody tank slappers! cbrs love em.

have u tried to ride 185k over small pumps going down hill?? try it and yank the front! worked everytime! normally can hold it for the rest of the hill depending on how long the hill is. give it a go if ya got the skills.
seeu.

Kerry? Is that you?.....

Now I know you're a fucking idiot. I thought the first post was a piss take but no, you had to try and reinforce your statement.

Cheers for the info / advice. Yes I'm on a stock CBR and I have neither the skills or knowledge to start tinkering with gearing etc.........and as for trying to pop a wheelie at 180km.........mmm think thats asking for trouble, while I'm not doubting your wheelie skills how the hell is one supposed to control a wheelie at 180km when they can't even do one at 5ks ! haha.......

Anyways.......I might try loading the front forks next time....I've noticed going round sharper corners (and the front is compressed) a bit of extra gas makes the front come up....caught me off guard a few times ...if that doesn't work I guess I'll just have to wait till I get my full license and a bigger bike.........

peace.......

Well, hmmm, keep trying. Apparently Kwak ZXR250s wheelie fine - a guy I know who is only a *little* bit full of bullshit told me he used to wheelie his. Your CBR isn't so terribly different, in fact it's a bit lighter, which might help.

Be really, really violent. Rev it at an almost-standstill until it's banging off the limiter, dump the clutch and keep the throttle pinned while you pull back on the bars. It'll probably come up. I'll bet that even if you *think* you're being violent so far, you're actually being quite gentle with it.

Hey

I was browsing through these mags in the bookshop las week and one of them had an article on how to do these stunts! Problem is I do not remember which one!

Was there about last week, so check out the mags and it comes with pics, was not a local one though

Cheers

Schweeeet....Finally someone thats done a wheelie on a "smaller" bike!.....I will give that a try and yeah I prob am being gentle..but I would rather try 20 times and fail than flip the bike the first time! haha Just one question....how bad is it for your clutch? I know when I used to dump the clutch on my old evo it did'nt take long for the clutch to wear out...what about bikes?

and whitetrash....was that you in that NZ biker magazine? doing that review on a GSX-R 600....nice wheelie if that was you.......

Peace......
