None of them are good for wheelies. You'll have to be able to balance it so well as you've got fuck all power to use to keep the front up. Rev the balls off it and dump the clutch and try not to fall off the back.

The ground will hurt, so be careful and use full kit to give yourself the best chance when you flip it.

Yes that will do in the mean time i suppose, although when you get the cbr125r you will notice the huge power increase on it.

Honda H100, but I suppose that isn't a 'sports' or a 125. They are damned easy to wheelie mind, no clutch necessary just crack the throttle in first Very Happy

I have heard so much about Honda H100's and their wheelying capabilities but have never seen one performing a wheelie.

Any pictures/videos?

None of me, I don't take many pictures of my bikes and I don't have the H100 any more.

Found this on google:

Prob the DT, watched my friend on his for a year, seemed that he could sell the front wheel if he wanted and still be able to use it fine Thumbs Up .

DT is the easiest 125 to wheelie by far.
As for the sports ones, none will wheelie without some serious clutch abuse Razz
A fat fuck on the back also helps out a fair bit Razz

I would say that the RS is probably the more wheelieable due to its power band. Drop the clutch in the powerband in first, whilst leaning back as far as your arms will allow, and you should be seeing sky Razz

Believe it or not, but my 4/ Honda XLR 125 is a v good wheelier in my opinion. Sure, u have to sit a little towards the back, but the front wheel gets nice and high and is quite easy to balance.

RD125LC

Really easy to wheelie, it will pick up in 1st and 2nd but you have more control of it in 2nd. My mate has one that is restricted in the coil i think because it won't rev above 6K but it's good for 90mph downhill even when it is restricted.

My AR125 is quite difficult to get any height off. You have to slip the clutch about 5-7000rpm, dip it and drop it at the red. On my MT50 it was just a case of a lot of revs and drop the clutch and up you lifted.

I don't know if the (4st) XTC or the CBR would be considered sports bikes.
It's like Honda making a CBR600 with the CB500 engine, it might look sporty, but woudln't exactly be a sports bike.

My NSR125F was quite good, but I think it had slightly lower gearing than the R model. If you got it at the right point a bounce and pulling the throttle on would get it pretty high.

Still, you are going to need to be very good to be able to keep one up on any 125cc sports bike; and probably have had lots of practice on bigger or trail bikes first.
