I know everyone likes the 12 and they are ******* sweet as hell! BuT Isn't anyone still doing highway/interstate/backroad 80 -120 mph wheelies anymore?!?!?!?! No one just float a nice long *** wheelie in 3rd gear sittin about 180 km/h anymore???? I did my longest wheelie the other day and I was thinking in my helmet why no one talks about these wheelies anymore..yeah yeah they are easier but they are fun as hell too!!!

i haven't found the balance point but i'm rocking rear peg standups around 1/2 mile ( i don't do regular standups because of a mental block from falling off my 98 gixxer 6 and breaking my collar bone and haveing a plate and screws put in) it just feels better to me on the rear pegs

I love hittin up the highway every once in a while, but it's just so much more sketchy than practicin 12's in a parking lot where you never get fucked with. Way to many pigs on the freeway around here.

i like to do the long wheelies but i try to go slower i ride mine about 50 mph with the long high speed wheelies its just a matter of time until u reck and when u do its not such a pretty site i think most of the guys on here are vets and they know what happens with high speed wheelies shuggs said to watch daruis's new movie if u like them but i think i read a interview that said he is trying to slow down but u can ask him that the last time that i went down at 90-110 i broke my back in two places and like the other guy said anyone with a GSXR 1000 can bullet wheelie LOL

slow wheelies are harder to do, take time to master and show awsome bike control. I also think they look better too. Highway wheelies are fun too, but when it all boils down, slower are better and safer! IMO:D
