you can ride and bike on one wheel forever just as long as you get to balance point. the only thing about a 6 is that when your wheeling a 55mph and then you fukk up on the throttle control by the time you get it back up there your probaly going 70mph then you got to slow it back down and blah blah blah. get to the point a 600 is alot of ****** work....

bounce on the pegs and crack the throttle, you should be able to ride wheelies in third, i had a 95 f3 with two up in the back and i could wheelie it in third.

96 f3 here......3rd gear is no problem. Oh wait, Im -1, +7 sorry.
No JK bro. I thought the same thing for the longest, "man my bike must be worn out or something because i run out of gear too fast in 2nd" NOT TRUE. just hit the BP and its cake. Basically your not at balance so you're constantly speeding up even though it doesnt feel like it. well.......eventually you will run out of gear that way
Just Practice.....I hate everyone tellin me that so now I'm passing it on
GOOD LUCK

usual : I agree, it does take alot of rev's on a 600 to pull the bike back up to the BP, espically a geared bike..

it's all about getting it to the balance point...

I pratice riding them out AT the BP even if it's only for 20yards, rather then trying to do long wheelies and hitting the rev-limiter (hell I rarley go over 10-11k rpm).. if you can balance the bike vertically (witch feels like your going to loop), then you can ride them out for however long you wish..

it's hard and takes time, pratice and getting over the fear of looping..
