Easy:
1. Ride Fazer 600 for a year.
2. Buy Storm.
3. Stop at junction
4. Drop clutch in first and give it some, just like you've done for the last 12 months.

As stated by Shane "Shakey" Byrne on the Shakeys tips portion of bikes aloud:

Wheelies: "Whack open the throttle, dump the clutch & worry about everything else when it happens...."

LOL!



Seriously though, that link posted by Welshy should have all you need to help you "get it up" (fnar fnar)

I don't have any experience on twins (not including a cb500) but 4s are fairly easy.

Blip the trottle in first then back off. The suspension compresses and then whack it open. It 'bounces' the front wheel up off the sprins. Probably the most simple way but not very controlled and remember to cover that back break... if you bin it I aint said nufink!
