Wheelie Sitdown or Standup... What is your preference..

When you wheelie what is your preferance Sitdown or Standup.. And do you think it is easier / safer to do one or the other.

My personal preferance is that standup ones feel oh so much better but I have a harder time judging how high/far back I have actually pulled the bike.

Stand ups have always been much easier for me. Just keep easing it back till you stop gaining speed.

Stand-ups are much easier for me and more safe cause you can manouver the bike much more...plus they look cool

Even though I think sit downs look gangsta, stand-ups are much easier and more controlable.

Even though I am still getting them down, I like stand ups alot better than sit downs. They just feel more stable and like I am controlling the bike. I do some sit downs and it feels like I am going to flip too easy, cover that brake though!

I like sit downs because I'm a lazy a$$. although looking around the fairing and down the fork tubes gets annoying at times.

Far better at doing standups, everything just feels right. Love sit downs even though I suck at slow, high ones!!!

U got it. Work on just doin standups and you'll feel like u have to re-learn sitdowns when u go back top em. Rotate sit downs and stand ups thru you session as u learn
