Wheelie Info

Not that I do wheelies (let's be clear on that)...I do have questions though -

Is the FZ6R 'really' built to pop wheelies? I mean it's not like it's a true sportsbike right? Not trying to offend anyone as I am a proud FZ6R owner but I'm just thinking that some of our suspension components probably can't handle the abuse from wheelies...front fork seals, rear suspension, clutch, etc...

Am I right or what do you guys think? Is our bike built a bit better than I'm giving it credit for?

Thanks for your input!

No bike is really built to do wheelies, some just do them better than others and it take a little effort to get the fat girl to do wheelies lol. None the less wheelies are fun period.

"No bike is really built to do wheelies" Look like you need to take a FZ09 for a spin

The fz09 and the ktm super duke are wheelie factories but that doesnt not warant that they were built for that intentialy. Thats all my point was. My 803cc L twin loves wheelies too but it was intended for both wheels on the ground.

Are you riding out the wheelie on the Blue FZ? I have the exact same bike but I cant seem to get more than a quick "pop" out of it and only in 1st.
