Why would you do that? Bikers get enough **** as it is.

ronkmonster

kmh or mph?

Sqaull20

kmh of course!! You would need a serious machine to hit 190mph!

Whats the big deal anyway OP?

I've seen Corolla's with a few in the back go faster than that on the motorway:pac:

Well being a biker myself,its folks like this GSXR 400 fella videoing his antics and then posting it that do indeed add to the negativity that bikers tend to get.

Not a hope. Just moved from a bandit 6 upto a gsxr 1000. Im some bitch on the yoke. The front lifted the other day and I nearly jumped off it haha.

I mean yeah of course the back wheel.

KTRIC

Seeing as we're having a pissing contest here...



Ppffft :rolleyes: 190


I can do that on the back wheel before I've even left the garage

Cuddlesworth

I've seen hayabusa's burn past me while I was doing 190+, so not really that impressed.

you know, with that new bike of yours, I'd well believe that.

IMO, what's the big deal? Any eejit can do 190 on the motorway. I'd be more impressed if he could do some of the roads with bends at any sort of speed.

Nothing like some tool tearing past you on the straight, only to see a big load of brake lights at the first sign of a bend or oncoming car. :rolleyes:

seanybiker

get him to do it through the wicklow gap and Ill be impressed.

tbaymusicman

Been faster then that on a push bike hehe:p:p

Isn't 120 mph the speed limit on motorways anyway??!:P

Its the legal limit. Given a decent white van, northern plates and a bit of rain, I'm sure someone will find the physical limits.

Was talking to one of the lads a while back he was on about some nutter in Cork riding a Busa with no front breaks and he lost the chap behind him. Madness I tell ya. wonder who that lunatic was.

batman_oh

nice wee bike, shame about the sheeite video

arybvtcw0eolkf

Its only a 118mph for crying out load, I thought I was going to be impressed.

A wheelie would have got him a few more brownie points.

But its a bitch to wheelie most bikes in the rain (hint, use the red grippy sh*t on the cycle tracks for wet day wheelies ).

Music was ok.

OP, welcome to the Internet - you need to have Thicker skin - the lads are only having a laugh...

woo coolest mod I met so far hahaha.

Twas a nice bike alright in the vid.
Hm wheely on cycle tracks. Must get used to wheelying in general before I try that.
Dont know which way to wheely, either power on or clutch her. Im scared

KTRIC

Wheelied for the first time myself there a while ago. I was revving the engine of the ZZR , showing off in front of two guys on a Blade.

Lights changed, I popped the clutch and didn't know what was happening :eek: wheel in the air, hearth in my mouth.

I got home and I was shaking, told the missus and said I'm never doing it again.

ha ha ha excellent.
I remember me mate brought me down to the industrial estate to show me how to wheely me bandit at the time. He told me to bring her upto around 4500-5000 RPM then leave the throttle off and whack it back on again. Well if I never, The front shot up like a bullet. I pooed a little and when the bike came back down, silly me forgot that my nads where above the tank. Bloody hell the pain. I had an inverted sack for awhile after haha.

Years back, Pat Sinnot( some legend) that works in H&B on the cork road in Waterford had a Gilera runner 180 and he was at the traffic lights by the clock tower with his lack on the back of the bike. He took off to fast and the front lifted. it wasnt until he stopped at the traffic lights by the tower hotel that he noticed his lack was missing. Ha ha poor chap had to go half way back up the quay to pick her up again lol.

Thing is, the bandit is a truely horrible bike to wheelie (in fact its a horrible bike to own full stop), you've to give it soo much welly its just not worth it.

Beats me why people still like the bandit, not enough torgue for wheelies anyway and all you get is a yukky snatch, the front paws the air then drops like a bag of sh*t.

You said early you've a Gixxer now, wheelie off the gas - BUT NOT IN FIRST GEAR!, it'll come up too sudden. And remember to always cover the back brake, if you go beyond the balance point shutting off the gas won't save your ass but tipping the back brake will bring the front down nicely.

IMO if you want to learn to wheelie buy yourself an old Honda Dominator, it won't cost you a barrel of cash (except in replacing chains) when you let her drop. But learning to wheelie, in my experience is all about having confidence in reaching the balance point, then maintaining it and changing gear up there (clutchless - in fact I change up clutchless on all bikes even with both wheeles on the ground).

As for wheeling in the wet, its harder only because of wheel spin.

i know nothing about it

i thought the bandit was great for wheelies. Went up no bother. If i had the money i would definately get another one.
The gixxer is mental alright. Bloody thing flies up like a lunatic lol.

The bandit is lump of out dated crap IMO.

If you want to learn to wheelie properly don't risk the cost of mistakes on the gixxer.

Your also best doing it with someone who is pretty good at wheelies, and I mean getting the front up and holding it there, anyone can pop the front of a bike.

They'll tell you when your nearing the balance point, without them its hard to gain the confidence because just a few inches off the ground feels huge.

CianRyan

I'm going to go ahead and guess popping wheelies on a motorbike is compleatly different to poppin' one on a mountain bike?
If it's not though, it could be usefell learning on a push bike first, even just to get an idea of it.

Noobie in here btw, i've been lurking the past few days, as my love of bikes has been growing quite rappidly.

One of me mates is excellent at them but anytime I ask him for tips he just hops up on me gixxer and flies up and down the road on the back wheel then just says do what I done lol.

course its different. No pedals on motorbikes lol. I presume ya would find the balance point easier, dunno though really. Got up on a mountain bike a few months back and nearly killed meself on it :D

Haha, well i know there's no pedals, but you have to find the biting point and keep it at that once you have your center of gravity.
Really what you are looking to do is get your wait evened out over the center of your rear axel, then once you've done that, keep the right amount of "push" going.
Its been the same on any wheeled "thing" i've tried on.
Haven't had the balls to try on a motorbike though, getting tempted. :pac:

More or less your getting the bike to do the same thing, ie your using the back wheel to try to push the front wheel out of its way, and the only way the back can do that is to push the front up!.

As in a push bike some motorbikes might need a pull on the bars and sit back a little on the saddle, low powered/low torque bikes like the Bandit 600 is a case in point. To really get that up you need to sit right back in the saddle, empty tank, drop the clutch and a pull on the bar's.

But without getting too complicated about it, bicycle or motorbike the mechanics are the same, your unbalancing the front (in the case of a motorbike by shutting off the gas) then throwing your weight/power into the back wheel and the front SHOULD lift.

Had the gf on the back of the Blackbird going up to Galway awhile ago. :pac:

Pulled in for a quick break and a cig at the side of the road, and when done we jumped back on the bike.

I was a little over enthusiastic to get going again, so wound on the throttle a bit too much and the bike wheelies right up into second gear.

Was told in no uncertain terms that if it even happens again with her on the back, that she’s not getting back on again..
