Hard to do?
Now if I have it hammered and go to second without letting off, it'll stand straight up!!

People say the 1000 will wheelie by cracking the throttle but usually if I get over the tank I can keep her about 8 inches off the ground or lower. Now if I have it hammered and go to second without letting off, it'll stand straight up!!
...and my new found trick is an endo. HAHAHAyou guys need to find your balance spots on the bike and work on that and you will ride great wheelies. A lot of times a nice tug on the bars is better than clutch pop and a lot safer. On 6's it can be harder.
I agree....
Learn to ride the bike for what its made for, and you'll be a lot happier .... i learned my lesson... nearly loosing my license ..... plus until you really get good at it, its really hard on the bike's suspension..... a sportbike's suspension isn't made to come crashing down outta the air like a dirtbike's....
good luck... start riding the twisties real hard, and you'll forget that your bike even wheelies at all......lol

Any bike you own can heed this advice whether its a CBR125RR, an HD night train, or a turbo busa!
I'm by no means a "stunna" I'm trying to be an all around rider. a little bit of wheelie/stoppie action and be able to hold my own in the twisties. As far as fork seals, L.O.L. i'm sure they'll need replaced eventually but I've only slammed the front down hard once or twice, most the time i try to power out of it and it seems to work nicely.
IMHO bikes are made for fun. I find throwing the bike into the corners equally as exhilarating as being up on one wheel given the right time/place. AKA not route 30 splitting traffic at 110 on the back wheel. Nothing wrong with pissin around on a back road with some buddies where the only person that'll be bothered if you wreck is yourself.

It can be done.. starboys do there wheelies on there sportsers longer and at more of an angle than they do on their rockets.. I got vids to prove itScott..brign your sporty over and ill juice it up for ya and you can showem how to ride wheelies on a cruiser! LOL

Jared, I was just messing with ya.. just don't end up like your buddy did that day we were supposed to go riding.
Picking up a canadian spec GS500 on Wednesday!
Its 95% identical to the US Spec version (only the speedo and carb jetting is different) and its an 89 so it has the clipons instead of a handlebar. Since my existing 95 GS500 is already up here (never arsed around with spending the grand to repair it and get it on the road), I have a complete spare parts bike to go with it.
Its going to be nice to get back on the road and enjoy the rest of the summer/fall season riding. I love this bike too because I can go 100km on only 4 litres of fuel (like 61MPG i think)!
i just dont see how apehangers can be comfortable
Ridden? No. Sat on one though and moved the handlebars. Maybe the stretch was too much because my thoughts were my back and arms would be dead after a long ride and a panic swerve just wouldn't happen.
i got 16in ape hangers on my sporty and roadking (gonna do 18s on roadking if i change them) but anyhow. ape hangers are comfy. i ride all the time with no issues...heres a pic of apes i just put on a VTX1800...20inch 1 1/4 chubbys. dudes 6'7 fits him good.
