[Vtrkidda]

whos best I can get it up a bit then poooop out

any members good at it if so post you vids or clips here

The forum needed a new post topic,this is all I could think of

I know one member has a stunt bike but forgot who

Yer before you start " get it up poop out " im on about the storm wheel

[lloydie]

im the same
i get it a foot of the ground and back it off or ride it through .

[Flatline]

Can't even get it off the ground

[lloydie]

wang it open in first that will get it up fast

[Vtrkidda]

hes right full throttle 1st gear let the clutch go that'll get it up

[AMCQ46]

2nd gear, 4000 rpm, dip the clutch, open the throttle a bit more and bang the clutch out again and up it comes in a controllable arc of male pride
This is not as brutal as it sounds

Always cover the back brake and grip the tank with your knees if it comes down faster than you planned, saves your baldrocks meeting the tank.

Step and repeat till perfected

Beware of prolonged wheelies tho, your robbing the front end of oil.

i find roll of the throttle in 2nd then snap it open and its up, without using the clutch.
not a big fan of wheelies on the road meself though used to be a demon for them on crossers lol.
most of the wheelies i do are entirely accidental, usually on bends lol!

i find it harder to get the sp to wheely in a controlled way, probs cos i dont abuse it as much as the storm, but on a sporty ride it will come up between gears, first to sencond, second to third, power wheelies

feels different on the sp when you snap the throttle, it just digs i and takes off rather than pivoting on the back wheel, probably cos of the longer wheelbase?

I've only done one, I was joining the A303 and maxed it to get out in front of a car, when I went for second the front wheel dropped back down and met the road again! I nearly shat myself!!

Used to be able to wheelie my 350 Suzuki Beamish trials bike, but haven't the confidence or talent to do it on the VTR!!

Just don't make this mistake http://filmy.scigacz.pl/honda_vtr_1000_wheelie_crash

The only wheelies I have done on the VTR are small ones by giving it a handull in first. When I try to do it purposely it don't work. When I ride in frustrated mad mode the thing just pops up. I love it

Have fun

we had a 325 Bemish when I was about 14 on the farm......Wheelie......we were lucky to get the bloody thing started

[MissEd]

Really want to do this.. but reckon I wil always chicken out. . gave one weak 1/2 attempt once. Its just lerched and i felt like a crap rider.

[Murv]

I can't even wheelie a mountain bike...

Best one I ever did was on the R1, gave it a quick twist of max throttle in 1st and it came straight up so I thumped it back down again before I hurt myself.
I think I'm too old to learn now, the risk of damaging myself or the bike is starting to heavily outweigh the desire to be able to do it.
Saying that though, this is my first ever V twin so we'll see what happens over Summer (assuming we get one)

[Flatline]

Are the silver ones taking over

[turbo_billy]

Roll on to 3000 in first and then crack the throttle open.....comes up no trouble
