    Yeah helps a bit, I didnt actually realise how easy wheelie were on the modern bikes. I started pulling wheelies on wenesday and that was saturday morning. After the day on the track I did a wheelie from castrol to the kink, I hooked 2nd and saw 158km/hr on the speedo.
    thanks for the comments people

    Yeah 'power stands' are easy is what i think you're saying, but instead of continued hardcore acceleration it's getting it up near balance point and maintaining a slower speed that is a lot more difficult and takes much more practise!

    Looking forward to riding with you again soon and seeing your skills.

    Nah not really man. out side bruces work I was doing consistant 200meter + wheele stands in 1st gear bringing it up at about 60km/hr and by the time I droped it I was still only doing 80km/hr. And I was bringing it down by choice with the rear brake. The wheelie in the video was a below average wheelie for me, I just wasnt doing very well that morning.

    The road surface was quite rough chip seal too mate which is not as nice to pull stands on as nice smooth sealed roads like around town eh.
