Question should I learn wheelies on a 929 or F4i?

Please help me out, right now I have a 02 f4i, I can roll endos all day,
love how stable it is. i havent got the hang of wheelies yet, the only ones I practiced are 1st gear sit downs. i could get a 929 for a good price, bu tis a 929cc bike going to be better for me to learn wheelies on, should I stick to the f4i until i have em down cold then upgradde? am i just going to loop the 929, heeellpppp

p.s. is more torque or more horse power going to make the front come up better

I don't really ride bikes (yet). However, I'd assume it's torque.

are you kidding me? more cc's and you will just hurt yourself. Gear the f4i up and your all set. just a few teeth in the rear make a big difference. just depends on if you want to use the bike as a commuter or as a stunter.

neither...learn on a sport quad first....much more safer, learn brake control then move up to a bike, if you can't wheelie a quad you're sure as hell not going to make it long in this game on a bike!

F4 Easy... 929's are better for endos they have the inverted forks and **** but the f4i is an awesome wheelie bike you should be able to throw that thing up in 3rd with stock sprockets but if you do want more torque go like 5 up in sprockets

stick with tha f4i
you can always do a 929 front end conversion on tha f4i to make stoppies even smoother
my boys down in austin like to call tha f4i "tha cheater bike" cuz tha damn things are perfect for stunting
slap a pizza pan, cage, and a bar on that b*tch and rock that sh*t hommie
