I'd definitely call it fast. Just not quick. Maybe brisk. But more than good enough for me.

No, take a ride on a R1, CBR1000 or any of the other litter bike racer replicas. They are fast!

The problem with these type of wheelies, is the landing, that's a lot of weight coming back down on those front forks! :eek:4:
And all the little dimples in the races of the steering head bearings......:mw1::nuts1:

I've seen guys do a few sky high wheelies and let the front end down instead of drop the front end down. Anybody (but me) can pop and drop a wheelie. It takes some real skill to finesse a landing.

My bike and I are perfectly happy if the front wheel never leaves the ground.
