DUDE! I only wish my F2 would do half that stuff!! friggin awesome!

Nice vids. How much of that stuff can you actually do palme? Personally I can handle wheelies in 1-4th and stoppies nothing that impressive but still fun to do.

Hey bro
Wheelies arent hard to do, i can do that on a normal bike

When i was younger i did stops on mopeds but i havnt tryed on a heavy bike.

Normal bike huh? I guess I wouldnt consider a busa a normal bike either more like a monster. I'd be pretty scared of doing a stoppie on one alot of weight to throw around compared to my little ass 600.

It sucks, I have an r6 I do all my wheelies in second gear. I take it up to about 100mph, but I can never shift through to third. Every time I drop the front down. Any advice?

Not sure how you do it but all I have to do is stand up and bounce it up. Stand up at bounce it around 8K and gas it hard at the same time. Its all about the timing, it took me awhile to get it right. If you have any long hills it helps a bit since it'll be easier to get it up and get your timing down.

when you shift third dont use the clutch just wack it into 3rd you only under part throttle it slip right it. Try it just riding and see how easy it goes in.

It just sucks on those long roads where you have nothing but straight road. I can do regular and stand up wheelies in second, I take them up to about 90-100mph, but I hate doing it because it red lines the hell out of second and when i finally shift into third it's pretty rough. So i've been laying off taking it up so fast until i can shift, plus I want to learn to balance as opposed to all acceleration, but I don't want to try it in second.

shirft third earlier dont wait till redline thats why its ruff. on my bike around 9000 is nice and smooth. You might have to do it a little higher since its a 600. But just try it riding flat. See what rpm it shifts smooth into 3rd without the clutch

Just put some pressure on the shifter and as your in the wheelie and should slip right into gear when you reach the correct rpm.

Sounds about right

Also to add on my last post, I dont know what you wear on your feet but it made it much easier to do it when I got some riding boots.
