a superhawks always better
my buddys and i have been trying our stand up wheelies. i just power on in to one in 3rd gear easy due to the torqe but all my freinds ride inline fours and have to clutch it up. but i got a call saturday night and my friend tells me he dumped his 2002 honda 919 going a 100mph hes fine but still kind of funny because up until now i was the only one to lay a bike over. heres some pics he washed it before i got there so it doesnt look that bad. the clutch lever assembly gone, tank crushed, sliders 1 1/4 " ground down and the rearset 3/4 " ground down. the good thing was he was wearing his leathers. just a little road rash on his ankle due to the fact that he thinks he looks cooler in ankle sock and skate shoes.

My hawk must be running like ***** if you are able to power wheelie in 3rd gear... I can't squeeze one out in 2nd...
...or maybe it ain't the bike that lacks the *****, it's me?

I can't wheelie in 3rd either, although I haven't practiced wheelies too much in any gear.

1st gear power wheelies= no problem
2nd gear clutch up= no problem
no power wheelies in second for me. I am not trying to bounce em up or stand ups. Maybe that would be better for second or third gear non clutch wheelie.

as far as the wheelies in third all im doing is getting the revs up dont know how much no tach. standing up and bouncing just alittle and turning the throttle as hard as i can. never popped the clutch until tonight super easy should have tried it sooner
