this was one of the first wheelies of the day. though you can't really tell from this particular photo, this straight i am on is about a third of a mile long. as the photograper was stationary somewhere in the middle, i had plenty of time to get the wheel up and pick up some speed. I would say that I was tearing along at about 80-90 in second gear in most of these photos (stoppie excluded). the 750 is just killer at wheelies as you can pop it up with no problem in first, kick second, and there is enough power to move the bike up and down with the throttle and find that balance point. i actually had to stop doing wheelies in this place as i ran out of straight. no joke, my buddy and i have had to go find, other, longer straights so we can ride out them wheelies as far as we can. i have to admit watching the FTP! videos has urged us on quite a bit. i would recomment the "furred out:2" vid to anyone who loves wheelies.
