RE: Wheelies, why do I still struggle...
I would love to be able to do wheelies.
It'll probably be another 5years before I am even comfortable to even think about trying 1.
I just rode my 07 600rr for the first time on Aug 02, 07. Bike died on my 50+ time. Front tires lifted up on my 2-3x. Scared the **** outta me when the bike just lurched and jumped and sprinted .. almost without me.
That first gear is scary
Even a newb can pull a wheelie sometimes. Heh yea not no wheelie but lift up the fron wheel on 1st gear.

I have an 07 Honda CBR 600RR and this is what works for me. I only do power controlled wheelies, I dont trust feathering the clutch that much. I rev at 7000 RPM in 1st gear, cut off the throttle totally, go 100% back on, and as Igo 100% back on I pull back on the bars and slammy butt back towards the back of the seat. I findstand up cat-walks easier. Idothe same,( Rev at 7000)I just stand up and as soon as I go to apply the 100% throttle back on I just jump a little on the pegs and it comes up as easy as that! Hope this helps! Good luck!I'm just gonna warn you... once you learn how to get it on 1 wheel, it's tough to keep it on 2 haha

I'd learned to power it up first, and work your way up from there. It's all in the shift of momentum (spelling ?). When you start in first open it up to about 8,000 or 9,000, but you want the weight shifted to the rear pretty good and then cut the throttle and when your bike slows and your front end drops open it up pretty good. Work your way up from there, higher then higher. Once you get the hang of this learn to slip the clutch in second. It took me about a week to learn to power it up in first.
