ahahahahahaha i only wish i could give you a shot of my one mate and then we'd see how easy it is i can wheely my rd no problem trying to keep a wheely up on a minimoto takes 10 times teh skill if not more minimotos react 100 times quicker than a big bike due to their size i really would challenge anyone who thinks its easy to jump on a 10hp + minimoto and see how long it is before it dumps you on yer arse these guys make it look a peice of p*ss........believe me its not

These things will happily put you on your ass before you can blink if you even slightly mishandle the throttle i cant get all the power on my thing down as its so front happy

hi
i have been mini-motoing before so im not that much of a dunce when it come to mini-moto's its trure they can spit u off without any warning, i came of 3 times in about 10 mins when i first had a go. But i reckon after a few attempts u could get the wheel up for a few secs, after all it is just a twist and go thing, its not like u have to dump a clutch or anything.

The minimotos you would have hired would have been the 4.2hp ones as thats all minimoto racing hire as far as i know trying to get the balance between coming straight down from a wheely and keeping it up without coming off the back (you can only really wheely my bike when she hits 35ish mph as this is when the powerbands coming right in the way its geared) is an extremely fine line i would say having the clutch there gives you more control over the power delivery makes it easier for me anyway

hi
im not talking about getting it up and getting it to stay there for a min, im just talking about getting it to come up without falling off the back, i cant see how after a few attemps this wouldnt be possible,
so there

No you are quite right its a piece of piss getting it up its the keeping it up for more than 2 seconds thats hard which is what i thought you were talking about, as i say i cant keep my front end on the floor infact thats where all the crack is front end up smokin on, theyre really good fun

hi
yes exactly, i guess the balancing position isprobaly very hard to find thus making it even more difficult to keep the thing up there

I did try some little wheelies on the hire bike ... but I really wouldn't want to try and get it near the balance point, because it's going to be a nightmare to try and control with a tiny wheelbase and 4.3hp.
The front did come up allright off the power when you are going along the straight near the top of the rev range.

[meh.. got grabbed away to a meeting while writing this ]

i race mini motos too-and soon made a mess of my plastics when trying to wheelie! its not all that easy, although some poeple have the nack!
