Nope, and listening to the clunk of the backlash when he tries it, I won't bother trying.
Pretty piss poor effort IMO.
I like the fact I can crank the throttle wiiiiiiiide open and not have to worry about flippin it.1981 XJ550RH

Not intentionally.
Only have the 2 wheels. Think they should both stay on the ground.I've been in more than one Hemisphere, and I wrote a book to help you do it too (or just prepare better for that week long road trip). Going Small, not just for the little guys.Comment

Not intentionally a few times...

Yes, on both bikes (but not at the same time
). On the E both nekkid (the bike not me) and in full tour mode, and on the LG (which is always nekkid). LG is much easier now with the mods.

Yes.
I've done it purposefully, as well as unexpectedly!
I shot a little video clip many years ago after I got mine rebuilt, but have removed it from my personal webspace, wasn't much to look at!
My most recent one was last year when I was at the local drag strip, almost flipped the bike over onto myself....was trying to accelerate quickly fanning the clutch, thought I was near the end of letting it out at 5k rpm, and dumped the lever! Was able to hold onto it and bring it back down! Phew!
I used to do wheelies on my Ten Speed bicycle as a teenager, could ride it for a few blocks going up a slow hill, but just can't quite get the feel for that balance point on the XS11! I wish I had ridden dirt bikes before, would have had a bit more practice before going to a street bike!

i'm too chicken to try, i'm still trying to get used to riding it regular, and struggling thru los angeles traffic, but would'nt mind going to triumph's, wheelie school, or a stunt school with their bikes.... then again i could buy other stuff with the money hmmm...
or we could all chip in on a outffited thrashed r6 and practice stunts in a huge parking lot. and get out kicks that way.
