I guess that must be due to the 1st gear being much taller on sports bikes??

Anyway my ZX-6R will power wheelie although it's not something that it'll do for fun... Only seems to do it from about 20-30mph in 1st with a very aggressive throttle hand!

Oh I managed to get it to wheelie alot more (inc 2nd gear) on the track (Oulton Park) out of the chicane and over a slight hump in the road... Never ridden that aggressively on the road though.

Power wheelies are only cool coming out of a bend/corner.

Clutch wheelies are always cool.

I have yet to get the bandit to power wheelie. Can do it off the clutch just about. Squiffy off here recommended I try standing up and opening up the throttle to do it, as of yet I haven't had a chance to try.
A guy at college has a stupidly large sprocket on a cruiser, it can lift in first and second. I'll try and get some pics if he doesn't mind.

Not too thick a fuck, poor grammar in the title.

Should read 'Which bikes power wheelie'.

I only consider it a powerwheelie if you can pull it off being realtively smooth with the throttle.
If not, so can my Rs 125. Just put it in first at about 7000 rpm and close the throttle and snap it back open while pulling on the bars. If you do it right you can flip it

Well its not really coming up under its own power if your pulling on the bars is it. So i wouldn't have though thats a power wheelie.

Agressive power delivery (either just bags of grunt or a viscious powerband)

Light weight (for smaller engined bikes)

Short wheelbase

Riding position (flat or crosser type bars put less weight over the front end)

Gearing

My FZR wheelies off the throttle too, and its a little worse for wear 400, though i did change the gearing by swapping the 19/55 for 15/44 tis fun.
