Fastest Wheelie

JM0523 · 10-18-2011, 02:56 PM

So im fairly new to the street bike scene and alot of the guys i ride with can ride wheelies all day long, so far my fastest set down from a wheelie was 101 mph last night out on a country road in mexico, just curious what speed everyone else likes to set the front tire back on the ground at.

I just set my bike to star date 111.98463 and hit engage.

I believe R1Brandon can beat that

He goes through all his gears haha!

Wheelies are dangerous and illegal. So I don't do them. Further, I don't cuss or drink. Oh shit, I just spilled my beer. BRB

JM0523 · 10-18-2011, 03:30 PM

Yeah some of the guys i ride with dont even pop the bike up til about 85 then they just take off so who knows how fast they get going, i was shocked when i looked down and noticed i held one over 100

whats a wheelie?

JM0523 · 10-18-2011, 03:38 PM

Mine seems to be pretty close after i heard they were 15% off i checked mine with my gps and it only varied about 3mph so i may or may not have actually been doing over 100

I thought you don't do them because ducs puke oil when you tip them up

leostiger1 · 10-18-2011, 05:34 PM

I don't wheelie because tillers have a oil feed line problem where the engine gets no oil when the front is off the ground..

Plus they scare the sh1t out of me..!

If I remember correctly, members of this forum are known for regularly pulling 130mph wheelies.

Everyone knows ducs can't wheelie. They don't typically make it past the Starbucks, much less out onto the open road.

I personally don't clutch up wheelies unless i'm going 130+ Slow wheelies are dangerous.

theduckllr · 10-18-2011, 08:52 PM

Few things are as majestic as an adventure bike wheelie. So I've heard.

I tried once or twice... but everyone says I'm doing it wrong. Other than my form being "off" and the bike being crap, I thought I did alright. Can't please everyone I guess.

PoltArt · 10-21-2011, 03:54 PM

I like to set mine at 5-10 mphs.

Yup, I think if you want a challenge, learn to 12 o'clock your bike at 10 mph!!

And you know I gotta throw mad props to you Alex and your brother Sergey!! I remember when you two first started to learn to loft the front wheel. And now you guys are throwing down like mad!!
