do you guys think this would be a good bike to learn to wheelie on? will I have to do anything to it to get it to wheelie or should it wheelie no problem??

[jmc83rsix]

it would be good if you want to learn how to wheelie a dirt bike but a road bike im not so sure???? i guess it might be a gud start.

[newbie101]

I guess I want to just get a feel for it as far as throttle control, balance point, I want to go to the class ononewheel but its in dallas thats a 5hr drive for me. so I thought I dirt bike might be the way to go

i think it would be a good bike to learn how to wheelie on. it will be a good start to learning how to clutch wheelies plus throttle and brake control. if your thinkin about buying a dirtbike just to learn wheelies i would suggest maybe going with a crf50 its cheaper.

Have you ever ridden a dirtbike/any motorycycle? I agree, pick up a crf50 to learn how to stunt on, they are a blast! Dirt bikes are a great way to learn throttle/clutch control and practice wheelies since you can beat them up and they'll still work. You're not going to learn clutch control on a 50, but you will learn how to wheelie, balance point, rear brake, etc. If you don't have any experience on motorcycles, I wouldn't suggest getting a kx125 (or ANY racing 2-stroke for that matter) just for practicing wheelies. The powerband on racing 2-strokes kicks in HARD and they aren't meant for putting around praticing wheelies, they are meant to be revved hard all the time. 2-strokes are also extremely high maintenance, that's another thing to consider. Pick up a fiddy and have a blast

thanks guys, I will be looking for a 50.

[newbie101]

would a 2003 PS/GW 50 be a good 50 to ride and learn on

[03R6nCobra]

PS/GW 50? I don't think I've ever heard of it. Do you have a link to it? The best 50 to stunt on is an xr50 or crf50 (same bike basically, crf is the newer models). Those things are bullet proof and very easy to find one that's already been modded with bigger bars, maybe stiffer suspension, etc.

def try to stay with honda.i owned one and thats how i learned the rear brake and then was able to transition it into doing wheelies on my big bike. def start off in the grass til you get the rear brake down too cuz your going to flip it alot. i watched my friend loop my 50 3rd gear wide open on pavement.lol it looked like it hurt pretty bad but i was lauging.

A 50 is easy to wheely with. If you want to learn throttle control, get the 2 stroker you will learn fast..
