As far as coming up, my 98 RK 80ci pulled the tire on the 1-2 shift and 2-3. My 06 RK with the 95ci does the same. Both bikes had/have light mods to cams/pipes,tuning,etc.

I have a built 103 and I never had enough traction to pull the front tire off of the ground, but I can dang sure peel out like crazy
