Finally! Something I can chime in on. To Wheelie a stretched/stretched lowered & lowered bike is not really much different. 600's... they are ok to wheelie when lowered, you just have to be careful when coming down on those light bastards for fear of tank slap or ruining your headers and oil pan.

1000's! Oh yah, sit down or stand up which ever you choose.

We're talking long wheelies here boys. I'll try to get some vids up.

my .02

i've personally seen a 1-4th gear wheelie on a 02 hayabusa
7 inch streched/3 inch dropped

it looked nuts seeing that bike at 3 o'clock and 7' long

my 750 is lowered 3in front and rear and i can do 2nd and 3rd gear stand up sit downs on it.... it jus lowers the balance point so its not as high... jus make sure you set the front down lightly...

I hope you guys all realise that if the bike is drpped it means the suspension is probably stiffer, since thats the case the bike will have less sag making it wheelie EASIER.. maybe harder to balance on one wheel, but it will come up easier...

Ben, that kid didn't say anything about being stretched, he flat out said "my bike is lowered, I can't wheelie it".
