    This is a bike made for 8-year-olds...

    ...no really...a Honda CRF50.

    This guy is correctly demonstrating how to wheelie. This takes a shitload more skill than all those sportbike riders who can power wheelie and think they are a big time stunter. Even if is in on a laughably small bike.

    If you're not using the rear brake, it's not a real wheelie...

    Doing wheelies on little bikes is piss easy, they are small and light so your body represents the majority of controled balance weight, rather than the bike. Plus when you screw up your going slow and not falling far and the bike weighs sfa. I used to teach kids to ride MX. The smallest bikes we had were pw80s and I could wheelie on with much more ease than a RM125

    Anyone on this site could wheelie a kids bike, takes alot more skill to wheelie a sportbike.

    True, but it takes more skill to ride a small bike on balance point, than it does to power wheelie a sportsbike, that's my point.

    Anyone can twist a throttle and hang on, using the rear brake has to be learnt.

    nah I agree little bikes are easy too wheelie, I learnt to do it on a 125 2 stroke of some sort, just popped the clutch and bumped the front wheel, pulled back stood up and played with the throttle to keep me up there, was getting a good 30m or so before I had to bring it back down

    You're still not getting it. I agree it's waaay harder to do a balance point wheelie on a sportbike than it is a small bike.

    But I'm saying it's harder to do a balance point wheelie on a wee bike, than it is to do a power wheelie on a sportbike.

    The difference is the use of rear brake, which means you can roll the wheelie indefinately, rather than having to put the front down because you run out of gearing...

    He's still a wannabe whiteboy gangster playing on a 50cc scooter. He has one rear axle mounted footpeg too, that's cheating.

    Didn't think there was anyone here who thought they were a hardcore stunter because they can do power wheelies. Otherwise the kid has got skills.

    I think most would know that doing a power wheelie is waaaay easier then holding any bike at balance point and performing tricks.

    Finally someone that understands.

    I'm not getting at anyone in particular. I just note a lot of people on any given motorbike forum thinking they are a hardcore stunter because they can twist the throttle on a 600 + cc sportbike.
