Yeah i thought that was a tad silly putting ya ame on the vid, you may as well go into the local police station and own up :smt017

Mines pretty crap at wheelying, I can get it to come up about a foot but there not enough in the motor to keep it going :smt009

its not power to weight that gets it up, its all about balance, i've seen people do excerlent wheelys on both zxr's and vfr's its jsut pratice!

use an 14 frond sprocket from the 15 stock, and u make wheelie's for fun.

I have in mine ZX and is really cool, but u have to change gears sooner in drive.

vfr's r piss easy to wheelie. i had an rvf which uses the same motor, they have so much low down torque, anyone can wheelie them

zxr's r tricky, but then again, if the trick to wheelies is balance over power then i have been doing them wrong

well, i can't actually wheelie (more than a couple of inches), but i'd say it's a mix of both.

if you've got a very powerful bike, then you would be wheelying on the throttle, and the power (or more accurately the torque) will be enough to keep the front wheel at almost any height.

if you haven't got the power, you'll need to clutch it from high revs, and try and use that to get to a steep enough angle that the power is enough to stop it coming down - at which point you are probably dangerously close to looping it. you won't be able to hold the front wheel a constant few inches off the ground as you can on a more powerful bike.

if people can wheelie a CBR125 then a zxr will wheelie fine! its all about balance

The problem i found trying to wheelie was getting the bike up there in the first place.
