What will it be like for me going from a 600 to a 1000?

Than a newer 1000 bike ..........not much different
It's all in the gearing and balance and proficiency of the rider

I'm not sure if it was BLKOUT15, but that saga was certainly a hilarious one. That's the kid that didn't even have a bike... and he swore he did, and he took pics of some other guys RR from bike pics.. LOL.. Aahhh yes, good chit. I don't remember anything about steve and a corvette in that show, though. I may be wrong....

Narr...that corvette line wasn't mine actually , I just adopted it Dylan...
I think from memory it originated from Gregg (stretcherman) ?
but for me it became a std issue response to all the go fast , I did this speed , I can wheelie threads that followed and I still use it occasionally ...
Blkout15 ....yer that was him ( " Corey " ) ...well done ... and he still lives on UTube today ...

I asked the (very skilled) rider who sold me my first CBR 1000F how it wheelied, and he said "a fella can do it, ... but when you do, you'll be 6 feet in the air." And he meant it as a warning. His bike had scars on both sides to prove it. I only wheelie now by accident. And not very often. And just a tiny bit. These bikes are way too long and heavy for trick riding. But that's what makes them so comfortable.

Yer , doing full on balance wheelies of these big arsed CBRs can be doggy to say the least Joe.. definitely doo able , but not recommended ..lol
Without sounding like a full dick , I have got a history from way back of doing wheelies like a bloody witt all the time and at all sortsd of speeds including very high speeds, but on other bikes ..
On my old girl , I do quite often get some "Air" as its called , but usually its over hill crests and smooth humps in the road...and then only 12"- 18" or so MAX!! ... It is easy to get the front to lift just a few inches (3"-4") with the slightest bump when taking off hard ..
You would have to pay me a ton of repairs money to get me to even bother with a straight up and down balance wheelie on my 1000F !!
