Wheelies are fun and all, but I out grew the fun in them a long time ago. Now my bikes are to expensive and aches and pains take to long to go away.

I went to pick up some oil and a filter for the mower and it was 45... I was definitely riding! I have put about 500 miles on this bike since purchase and she will come up in 2nd and 3rd when I shift hard no problem but haven't really tried to stand her up. As I turned right and was going about 25 in first, I pushed down a bit pulled back as I hit the throttle... stood right up! I rode this one until the Bob hit the rev limiter about 52 normally (wasn't actually looking). Felt great and was not scared at any point, almost like it belonged on one wheel. Did wrack myself a bit on the way down but wow was it fun. I smiled the entire ride there and home. Did this one more time before I got to the mower shop the same way, same result. Some dude in a van must have seen this, when he pulled up next to me, could not take his eyes off... probably couldn't believe he just a Harley ride a wheelie. What a blast, coming from mostly dirt bike experience like the KX500 this was more fun than I think I have ever had on a bike.
Of course this was all done on private property.
A few pic's of the bike after a clean up this afternoon.

Did you say about 52 in first gear? If so, we have VERY different gearing!
