Default How easy is it

The reason I bought my 900 is because people told me its a wheelie machine. I grew up around dirt bike so wheelie were a piece of cake. Being out of the bike seene for 15 year two years ago I got the nag to by a bike again and bought my first street bike which is a Katana 750. I love the stunt seene but I just can't balance this heavy bike. I can lift it easy but I just can't balance it. Thats why I bought my 900 to tinker with. It started as a stunt bike but I realy liked it more then my Kat and I got carried away with building it and making it look good. Now that I'm almost through with it I,m afraid to wreck it.Is it really a wheelie machine. Has anybody ever tryed wheelieing a Katana and had the same problem ,or is it me. Any advice will Help. Johnny

any bike will wheelie, and some are easier than others. The 900RR was the big stunt bike for a while, everybody rode one, and everything has been done on one...

Thank for the info guys. I guess I'll just have to wait and see when my 900 is done. Mabe I just need alittle more cajonesa and take a chance. I've hit a wild hog at 90 miles per hour and Thank God only hurt my ancle; mabe just a small spill if I go back to far.

Thanks for the input guys but guess what happen this morning. I've got two jobs to make ends meet if you know what I mean, and this mornig my boss was'nt around when I was rounding out cattle in the four wheeler and I never tryed to wheelie it because its an automatic (Polaris), but this morning I tryed it. The first time I fell on my *** but after that fear was gone I found the balance point and I was having all kinds of fun. I even started to wheelie standing on the seat. Now lets hope I can do this on the motorcycle. Thanks Johnny
