Stunting with the CBR 1000RR
I am hoping that some of you guys are out rockin wheelies on the new 1000rr because I am curious if the longer swingarm and new engine placement effects the balance point vs a 954 and a 929....... Your oppinions will be appriciated.

Re: Stunting with the CBR 1000RR
balance point is a myth. there is no set balance point for any given bike. it changes with rider weight, stance, wind, angle of the road, speed, etc. So all that "well your bike's balance point isn't as high as mine so it's harder for me to ride a wheelie" is just BS.
and a longer wheel base will make the bike harder to pick up. that's why drag bikes have longer swingarms, keeps the bike from lifting.
