2003bansheeman350 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 you make it sound like its impossable, last summer on my all *stock* banshee i did a wheelie from like 2nd to low ass 6th and could of kept riding but i was drifting torwards the woods. even though the whole time i wanted to put it down, couse if you ever do a wheelie long enouph to where the front wheels stop and your almost out of gears you better put it down or your goin down. when the front end dropps it feels like its ganna throw you off the damn machine. but seriously im pretty positive i could do it if i had enouph room(to the right, left , and distance) but theres is no space like that.

Blue Duece Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 Duece, you should have requested the wheelie package...I guess you want your money back..right?...Jim heheheheheheheheh..........ive seen plenty with there front ends coming up in drags at high end.....but yet to see a guy stand it up and balance a wheelie and accelerate to 75mph on a banshee...... street bikes all day long, maybe even a bad Cr or 2, but never a banshee....

Blue Duece Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 lets see if i understand the art of "riding wheelies" someone correct me if im wrong......1. you bring the front end up..2. you balance the bike..3. you blip the throttle as needed to maintain your balance or accelerate............so now you have a guy with a wound out power band balanceing his bike at 75mph.......if someone said 50mph or maybe even 60mph......or to have your bike wound out in 6th, and just what pull up on the front end and rise to about 45 degrees, with some bolt on stuff.......i can get 25-30 degree power wheelies all day long ..but to ride one through the gears, balanced and topped out to boot is another story Quote
NYUK Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 i didn t say 75 someone else did, but these guys are moving.on a street about a half mile long, no throttle blipping they are moving.raptors banshees. these aren t the lil slow wheelies these are from end to end of the street. front wheels are about at 10 or 11 o`clock.i will get video.who can edit it?i certainly can`t.they fall over backwards too on blacktop .

verdoneracing Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 How high and how long do you want to ride it. Quote

SANDSTAR Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 No way is someone gonna hold a wheelie in 6 th. I can see it might happen if they have some sort of wheelie bar like those trick streetbikes do. but not a legitimate wheelie. Powerband would kill you. Quote

I can see it might happen if they have some sort of wheelie bar like those trick streetbikes do. but not a legitimate wheelie. Powerband would kill you. thats just what my point is Sand, ThankYou..... Now I have a question. Do you mean be on all 4 wheels in 6th, then think "Hey I'mma pull a wheelie now" and just do it?? Or do you mean ride a wheelie from 1st or 2nd TO 6th? or both? Neither? I have a headache. I'm going to bed. Quote

I havent had a Slurpee in months though. I did a bit more trig today than most days. I think I hurt something in the process. Quote
Blue Duece Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 either stan.....i have a headache too look what i started.....i give up, all i know is i put a 17 tooth up front and when im doing 90 in 6th i just pull up ever so gently on my bars and stand my bike up at a 45 degree angle and wave to the crowd as i pass by......

Meat Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Blue Duece would you say wheelies are harder to pull with zero preload shocks. I found that instead of the front end lofting, the front suspension just stretches out and the front tires stay planted to the ground. Better handling with the front tires on the ground, but wheelie action diminished. Quote
sheebroke Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 i was watching some street racing on ppv and there is some crazy s.o.b's out there 150+mph wheelies down the interstate ! these guys would even sit on the gas tank with feet over the bars runnin 100+ mph and pull a wheelie . i want that kinda power in my shee lol ( street bikes ) 929's R6's GSXR's all i can say is CRAZY but looks fun hehe ...
