With the proper technique you can wheelie just about anything, some obviously easier than others, but if you cant control your itchy throttle hand or the rest of yourself on a bike, then take some classes and practice before you go out on the street in traffic.
im guilty of that sometimes my hand just wants to pin the throttle and make the front end come up and yes with a lil practice you can wheelie just about anythign come on i wheelied a moped an im a big fat guy

wheelie are by bike and rider. You cant just throw the throttle back in a 1000 and not expect it to come up. But a kat has to be worked up. I understand his piont about amrketing it that way because the only reason a friend wont upgrade is because he like the fact that he doesnt have to worry about it accidently coming up.www.scrmotorcycles.com www.katanaOutlet.com

I would have to agree with everyone here that it's the rider and not the bike that determines whether or not a wheelies can be done. I've never attempted to wheelie my Kat while an acquaintance of mine is able to do them as easily as walking. Needless to say he is a far better rider than me.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I even want to learn how to do a wheelie. My fear is that I'll lose control of the bike and wipe out. Heck, I'm afraid of riding in the rain, never mind stunting on a bike. I guess I'll have to settle on being mediocre.

Originally posted by meanstrkI think wheelies are a product of the rider, not the bike.
anyone who does not choose a certain type of bike because they are afraid it will "wheelie" on them just because that is "what they do", has little confidence in themselves as a rider.
it's like buying a gun, but never buying bullets because you are afraid it will go off.
sorry...but i really do find that to be a lame excuse.
BUT.....if they were to say something like, "I didn't buy one of those because I don't trust MYSELF from doing something stupid"....well, that is a comment I can find acceptable.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

Having a little fear of rain or of dropping your bike doing a wheelie doesn't make you mediocre. It makes you responsible.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.
