Whif, Whif,
I smell bait.
First of all, we all know shafties can't wheelie :-)
Secondly, I would not suggest anything beyond a SV650, EX500, Bandit 600
or such for a first bike. Other than the ZX6e, any modern bike that
starts its name with ZX, CBR, GSX, YZF is not, I will repeat NOT a
beginner bike. I know there are sever people who have said, but it's
only a 600, yeah a 600 that has 100-110 HP is not a beginner bike!
If you are serious, learn to ride, take courners, brake, and then in
about 10,000 miles, worry about wheelies. Getting a litre bike, with
aspirations to be a starz boy as a first time rider, only gives my
favourite hobby a bad name. We have enough drunken, helmetless harley
riders around here, we don't need you looping a litre bike as well.
Well, back to another of my favourite hobbies, gaming (not gambling)
FWIW, if you really want to learn to wheelie, get a dirt bike.
