    used to have a xxer as well..

    If you want to power wheelie cheap and affordable to fix is the name of the game = GSXR. If you want to ride with class and the bumpin of the VFR, then you'll pick the time and the place for the front to come up. As for the youtube vid... is it me, or did that pipe make the bike sound like shit? even on pipe mine doesn't sound like that? oh well... to each his own. I do agree with everyone here... vfr can and will pop the front w/o clutchin and yes I have done it (with no probs). It's an age thing... you get to a certain point in your life AND as the adage goes... (youth is wasted on kids) who here HASN'T looked back and seen what they did as dangerous or stupid all say (I) :cheersaf:those opposed? (nay) LOL :vader: either way you look at it... it was/is fun *remember kids be safe - and have a good time :ncb:

    i have a 96 and i can wheelie with my bike like its nothing. its very hard to get it up in 2nd gear but after a kevlar clutch kit and some harder strength release springs it will come up with all of ease.

    Yes they can, pick it up in first (I use the clutch) when the clocks are about eye level put it into second and then 3rd but be warned you have to have them high and cover the back brake, I used to do wheelie comps so I'm okay with them if your not dont there are much easier Bikes to wheelie

    Never touch the Clutch when hoisting a Wheelie, snick it into second without the Clutch and no big hand fulls of Throttle :smile:
