Default wheelie with no clutch

hello all,
yesterday I had a surprise, I thought the only way to bring the front end on an f4i up was to use the clutch and the throttle, but to my surprise it will come up in first gear, ya just hafta get the rpms up to about 10 and crack the throttle, as usual I'm chicken sh** and I roll off, just thought it was pretty cool. yeah pretty much the only way I can wheelie is by accident..

Front end rises on my f4i at around 7500 (~40mph) even if I'm leaning forward, with little less than full throttle.
Isnt this called a POWER WHEELIE
