dorifto240 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Nothing beats what one biker gang member said when asked why he could flip his license plate up and out of sight:"Keeps down on unwanted attention"He also went onto explain why he had a machete strapped to his gas tank as well...

ChickOn2 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 But it's also expensive to stop for said police...*cough* $2200 for me *cough*Whuuuttt $2,200?? Or did you mean $220...? Two Thousand, Two Hundred US dollars for a wheelie??? getdafukkouttahere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 The $ makes you think about it doesn't it. I got caught with my front wheel in the air going WELL OVER the 65 mph speed limit on an entrance ramp last Saturday. The officer first thanked me for pulling over for him, reminded me that even though the speed limit isn't posted on the ramp it is still 65, asked to see my licence, & then proceded to talk about bikes for a while. No handcuffs, no ticket. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 ANY modern sport bike will wheelie...This doesn't necessarily meant that you should wheelie any modern sport bike. Depending on the location of the oil pump and return, some bikes (my Katana for example) will starve the engine the second it goes above 10-15 degress above horizontal. GSXR's and I'm sure CBR's don't have this problem, but you shouldn't assume that any and all sportbike can wheelie without major engine oil starvation problems.

magley64 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Cheech, the odds of you causing any engine damage from popping a quick wheelie is pretty slim, but i agree if you don't have it set up properly, riding wheelies for long distances can cause the damage you described.

The occasional wheelie here and there isnot going to hurt your motor period.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The occasional wheelie here and there isnot going to hurt your motor period....The bikes being used by stunters are designed to be able to withstand repeated and prolonged wheelies. It goes into the planning and design of bikes like the GSXR, CBR, Yamaha R-series, ZX- and ZZ-series, so on.All I'm saying is just because it's a "sportbike", like my Katana or an Aprilia can be considered a sportbike, doesn't mean that they are all designed the same way to withstand the same things. There may not be lasting motor damage (and with the occasional wheelie there probably won't be) but given the fact that they were never designed to do it in the first place that's not a chance I would want to take with something that could easily do very bad things to me.

Wheelies are no problem with these bikes, hell the front end is in the air through 1st and 2nd gear most of the time anyways.Just pointing it out.

These bikes are designed to be raced... not stunted..We are not talking about riding wheelies for days, we are talking about the occasional wheelie.

And for most of us non stunnas, you're more likely to do fork seal damage than engine damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
