I have a stock 600 now, and a lot of the time I just **** around doing wheelies. For normal, straight ahead wheelies, is it noticeably easier on a 1000?

inb4 yut uhhh

If you don't have a Hurricane, you're asking the wrong people.
If you do, the 1000F is bigger, faster, heavier and not a bike for beginners...........

No. If you're looking into a 1000F, these bikes are a lot heavier than your 600 and are not wheelie machines. If you're looking into a 1000RR, those bikes do not weigh much more than your bike and the story is a lot different- but if that's the case, you're in the wrong forum.

if just looking to wheelie, going to a 1000cc is bad all together. Wheeling is a skill (per say) that when mastered it wont matter what bike you ride to do em. And since you have to ask such a question, I strongly suggest staying away from a 1000cc bike for many years to come.

Must not have survived. I did a search on Corvette and bikeout, got nothing like the thread described. Bet it was a hoot.
