hey i just registered with this site so this is my first post. first of all im 16 and ive been 4-wheeling for years now. i finally got my motorcycle endorsement but 2 wheels is a change. i actually stared with a ninja 250 but i got rid of that shit after 3 days. then my dad got me a ninja 500. still lame. so i now have my 03 cbr 600 f4i n ive got to say i love it. i finally got the courage to try a wheelie today but failed lol. i got it up with power alone in first but you cant really hold that for to long. im just wondering if anyone has any tips for a way to do a wheelie at about 45 mph. another thing that sucks here is i have no local friends with bikes. so im always riding alone. which isnt always fun. but for real. wheelie's...help?

lol well sounds dangerous since u said ur only 16 so u havent had u license for that long and u didnt wanna learn on a smaller bike first so basically just be careful and people will go back and fourth on whether or not using the clutch and popping it up or powering into a wheelie is better to begin with basically my only advice is dont practice on streets or something where ur gonna hurt ur self and someone else

first gear wheelies are a good place to start. go about 20-30 mph in first gear, once you're there, pull the cluch back, and at the same time, give it some throttle and let the clutch out.... The bike will lift. You'll get a feel. You should get a hang of this after a day or so. Once you've mastered this, you're ready for second gear stand ups. Let us know when you're through with first gear.
I could hate on you like the rest of the guys, but I know how it is. I'm not enjoying myself on my bike unless I'm kinda livin on the edge. Safety is important, but if you're like me, you're not having fun unless you're riding dangerously. I feel you brotha, you're a man of my own heart. Don't let the first gear wheelies scare you.... Pull in the clutch, throttle up and pop it, all in one motion. You'll feel comf. after a few tries. Just be safe man, gear up and don't be an idiot on a crowded road. Take it somewhere that you'll only hurt yourself, worst case scenario. Good luck and have fun.

Listen to words of wisdom from experienced riders. No disrepect intended, but sounds like you've just learned to 'move' a bike. Learning to 'ride' and gain experience takes time and lots of miles under your belt.
