Off topic slightly but how do you even begin to wheelie like that. I know in theory how to do it but in practice its not something ive ever really tried for fear of removing the skin on my arse as i slide down the road.

In my case you sit a traffic light next to an 1100 Multistrada and when the lights change you think you'll try your luck and, amazingly, you end up in front... with the front wheel in the air.Then you remember you're on a f
king Pan European, just around the time the rev limiter kicks in and the whole barge comes crashing down like the alien mothership in that film where the Yanks save us all again... 
Luckily, thanks to the gyroscopic effect of wheels the size of the ones on Fred Dibnah's traction engine the bike stays upright and you pootle off into the distance while the 'Strada rider crashes from laughing so hard.

ok r1loon if the weathers ok and slots left how does mon eve at Cadwell sound? Maybe the wind will blow that knob off your head with any luckOh and less of the outright abuse please.
Here I am a few months after snapping the shaft of my femur off from my hip last year.
You lot do realise that you actively have to slow the bike up to do those wheelies. Unless you wife/gay partner is in the stands watching, I'm not actually sure why you are doing them.
Bit like having a car and reversing it round the track. Fun for five minutes, and then you have to think that you may have missed your own point.

Really? Think you'll find I do that wet or dry lap after lap, I've seen BN do a 1.41 pissing about over the mountain in the damp, it's not about how high the front lifts it's about the drive it produces, at the end of the day if your going fast enough through the right your fronts coming up regardless.

On a modern 1000/600 if your not lifting the front every lap you need to go home and start watching knitting weekly or the like.
Frak sake I can lift the whole bike off the ground on a 205 kg, 116bhp zx7r (plus tubby rider) and that's on every lap of a practice, quali or race!
Ps, Im decidedly average, I've seen Fleegle carry the front half way from mountain to hall bends on an old 2t 250!!

Thats interesting because when I watch bike drag racing they don't seem to favour the wheel in the air approach. Secondly if I curl up over the front bars of my S1000RR the rear wheel tends to squirm way before the nose goes into the air. If you watch the various S1000RR utubes about 1/4 mile times they don't stick a wheel in the air, and I doubt they are just taking it easy with the throttle. Even when you watch MotoGP the only wheelies are at the end when they are grandstanding. You don't seem them hoiking wheelies every lap.On a modern 1000/600 if your not lifting the front every lap you need to go home and start watching knitting weekly or the like.

Of course if I sit back in the seat the front wheel goes up early on, but I wouldn't expect people who are ernest track riders to say they have no control over whether they do a wheelie lap after lap.

And regarding drag racing etc, look carefully and thebike will have the front off the ground, as it's driving back against the wheelie bar. MotoGP guys will have the wheel off the ground under hard acceleration, just in neither rcase will they be hoiking it up rather the front lofts under acceleration. Max acceleration is achieved with the front a couple of inches off the ground and with about 8% wheelspin.

I think the discussion is regarding the Mountain section of Cadwell Park, where anything over walking pace will see the front wheel airborn.

Totally agree. But with the S1000RR only an inch or two I have yet to have the electronics cut in on me. The poster seems to be giving the opinion that the S1000RR can't ever be driven round a track faster than a blade because of this which I think is rubbish.

You Sir can "button it" because you appear to know the square root of nothing on this subject.Bit like having a car and reversing it round the track. Fun for five minutes, and then you have to think that you may have missed your own point.
