Your back tire will need to really bite in, on most surfaces the stock rubber won't get enough traction.
The bike is however powerful enough, it's just the coefficient of friction holding you back.

RE: just curious
You'd have to give it a lot of gas and really pop the clutch to bring the Wg front tire off the ground. If you just blast off and twist the throttle it will run up real fast and hit the rev limiter, you need to git off it then and shift to 2nd. and it will wind faster than 1st and you will have to hit 3rd. and so on.
Ain't nothin to be scared of. Hope the bike is broke in before you start hammering it.

Full throttle from a standstill and pop the clutch? More than likely you'll breakthe back tire loose, get sideways and end up on the ground.
Let us know how it worked out.
