I've been riding my buddies yfz alot, actually more than my own 350... And love how easy i can do wheelies on it. I like riding it on the track and im not sure how it would do on trails, and it does feel very small. Im probably still going to get a 700 so dont shoot me  :lol:   cause i do ride alot more trails than track and want to be comfortable. and i need reverse...

Is it as easy to do wheelies on a 700?

The only thing that limits me on my wheelies is the room that I have. And I ride in a dry riverbed, if thats any indication on how long my wheelies are.
Just a little 81hp trail bike.

f*ck the system? i didnt even know there was a system!

I can't say for a 450, as I've only ridden one 2 times. But it's easy as heck to lift the front end on my rappy.

I don't think the balance point was hard to find. Especially using the stock radials

I am still not that great at wheelies on the 700. Put me on a 400EX, Suzuki 400, or a blaster, or even a street bike and I can hold the front up a long time!
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

I can hold it whole driway way which is 2nd-4th and just run out of room. I could hold it forever :grin_nod:

hang off the back, sitting on the grabbar and the balance point shifts forward. That was key for me hard to get over wanting to lean over the tank. Easy as pie. Holding it gets tough with the 660=too much torque, twitchy throttle. Second gear wheelies are great.

So how was the 700 on the track when getting air? Balanced?



Livingmylife93 - I learned to ride wheelies because that's how the Rappy likes it  ;)
