I could hold it up from day 1, usually until my arms got tired.. on my first bike, a turbo booooosa.

lmfao...i can't do a wheelie...nor will I ever want too..nor will I ever try...I'll watch though...Most of the peeps on here are track guys...i can count on my one finger how many people here really stunt..Im sure the track guys can hold a wheelie...but they don't like to squid around and chance runing thier bikes..

Ha, on my first bike which was a '95 Katana...I think maybe once. But that thing was damn near impossible to wheelie. However, on my 929RR, it wheelies when I don't even want it to...which is awesome. I'll dabble in some stunts here and there.

i try to pop it up by just blipping the throttle. I only got one decent one, was for about 4-5 secs about maybe 1 1/2 high. Tried to use the clutch, but its pretty hard to get used to so i'll start trying after i get the roll on to be decent. One of my friends told me how to do it cause he's a sick bastard and does wheelies at like 102 mph and for like 5 miles. I was riding with him one night, he slowed down and i knew he was going to do a wheelie so i kept going about 75 mph. I didn't see him for a good 2 min, i knew i couldn't cause his headlight was up in the air, so i was afraid somethign might of happened to him when i wasn't looking back so i sltarted to slow down, then i saw light come out of no where and suddenly there he was.

But i have more fun doing stoppies. i think i do it ok, but right now its just brake and back end comes up 1-2 feet and then i don't move newhere. I'm kinda afraid of doing a stoppie where the back end is up while the front wheel is moving. But thats where i eventually wanna get at.

My first bike was a 93. I got the front up a few times on accident.

but yeah those things like to stay on the ground.

I learned how to get it up watching skinemax. First time... mebbe 13. Self taught, and can hold onto it for hours.

Kindve personal question though.

If sportbikes were designed to wheelie they'd be equiped with motard forks. I never enjoyed reducing the amount of contact and control my bike had with the street anymore than I needed to. However there were a few highspeed lifts on a certain rolling backroad that were expected, and they only lasted a few seconds at the most.

Try this next time your on your bike ducati.

Proceed to cruise at around 5mph. Grab clutch and pull in, rev bike to rev limiter, realease clutch and hold on.

You'll be good to go in no time.

5mph is for babies

1. Make sure to be at a complete stop
2. Pull clutch completely
3. Go WOT
4. Release clutch completely
5. Go stand in a corner
