Got my front wheel up yesterday too.

no way mate.. Not on a Ninja 250. More likely you just felt the suspension topping out and the steering getting light and mistook it for the wheel leaving mother earth.

Well, like i said, i won't be trying any on purpose but i'll let you know if it accidentally happens again...

I totally owned eastern suburbs of Wellington today on my girfriends 49cc scooter.
Wheelie, stoppie, gravel burnout, you name it, it was me!!!

This was just hours after I had parked my 996. I did a quick stop at the local for a drink, four Harley's parked next to me. Lucky them no Japanese bike, I've banned them in this hood. The 996 was feeling gooood, just lubed the throttle cable. Watch out!

Oooh look we have a winner

I never said anyone can't wheelie a 250 just that *you* didn't wheelie yours.

Every learner shits themselves when the front gets light but brown pants do not a wheelie make. The Ninja 250R doesn't have the power/weight to powerstand (specially by accident).

Obviously, a scooter doesn't have a clutch, so you have to use other techniques; My fat ass placed back on the seat, uphill helps, pull on the bars, wack the throttle and up the front goes. You can balance it there quite well actually. Haha LOLz

But ye, it wouldn't happen accidentally...

Best go out get a big roll of gaffa tape and wrap up ur rear indicators and lights. I only do it as my front tyres a bit bald an I'm trying to conserve it
