Since our photo and video shoot for our Urbane Pro and Handroid MKIV products with Knox athlete and stuntman Rick English, we’ve been getting some definite wheelie envy and scouring KZfaq trying to find the best way to do it! Having got so far, I’ve realised I needed help and that is why we sought out going to Extreme Wheelie, a school ran by wheelie experts to teach us how to wheelie a motorcycle in a safe environment and in a progressive manner.
What a day we had! I was learning how to wheelie a Yamaha MT09, a fantastic bike and a great motor for motorcycle wheelies. Geoff and Mark were learning how to wheelie a Yamaha MT07.
The progression throughout the day was huge, starting as total novices and ending the day being able to pull some pretty awesome wheelies!
I have since practiced on my Suzuki GSXR 750 and while I have had to adapt a little and start my wheelie faster due to the GSXR750 power delivery, I have managed to hold a 40-50m wheelie on it, which is massive progression for me!
Just for the record, in my opinion, the Yamaha MT09 and MT07 are a lot easier to wheelie than a GSXR750 as they have loads more punch at the lower end of the rev range allowing a slower and more controlled wheelie.
Massive thanks to Steve and Ash from Extreme Wheelie for an amazing day with lots of laughs included and even some unicycle action! For more information and pricing on the course, please check out the site on extremewheelie.... If you are considering learning how to wheelie, we would whole heartedly recommend going to Extreme Wheelie.
For clarification purposes, this is not a paid production, we paid for the day ourselves and are producing this content as part of our ongoing enjoyment of riding motorcycles, learning and bringing you fun content.
Of course, throughout the day, we were also wearing products from the Knox collection as follows:

Why would they teach it on here for free? They are brilliant teachers, and I will be back for more. They acknowledge anyone can power wheelie in no time. Th teach safety and control 1st. 2 of the guys on my course were wheelie fanatics who were on their second lesson because they wanted to learn more control. Clearly worth every penny!

Yes, MT-09 a lot easier to wheelie as it has the sudden punch down low.. Doing pretty well on the GSXR now, but if I want to start slower have to use the clutch to get it up. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

When practising, learn to drop the front wheel gently. Otherwise you'll mess up the whole front in no time.
@KnoxArmour 5 жыл бұрын
Definitely! Been working on that. Think its a case of getting used to the front wheel coming up and not just panicking and shutting the throttle. Trying to hold the throttle open throughout the wheelie which gives a much better landing! Thanks, Aaron Knox

@KnoxArmour 4 жыл бұрын
Sorry you feel like that... I wouldn't put a video like that on KZfaq teaching you the steps on how to wheelie a road bike. In my honest experience and from learning and now decent at pulling safe and controlled wheelies myself, I feel it is too dangerous without proper training and certainly not the sort of content I would want to be putting out there. End of the day, on a road bike, depending on what bike you have got, you are coming down from the wheelie anywhere from 40-70mph on a power wheelie and getting it wrong at those speeds is dangerous and could wreck your bike. If you have a dirt bike and are on grass/dirt, I don't have the same issues as the risk is a lot lower and a dirt bike is designed to be crashed. Our genuine recommendation on a road bike is to go to a school like this where you are taught by experts on how to wheelie properly, controlled and safely in a safe environment. This video was about our experience doing that and the fun involved and I would recommend Extreme wheelie training 100%. Many thanks, Aaron KNOX.

@KnoxArmour 4 жыл бұрын
allinall777 OK totally understand where you are coming from. Of course, you can work it out and there are quite a few KZfaq videos on how to do it.. I know because I got so far by following these type of KZfaq videos and of course you can learn this way. Its just in my opinion, the margin for error is really slim and its quite risky. Again, when it comes to an off road bike or something, then go for it, but I think because the risk is higher on this, imo its better to learn from an expert. In comparison, I'm totally happy to show how to on things like rolling burnouts because this imo has a lot less risk factor, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9WGq82G0KyYj3k.html. 😀😀

Wheelie schools are lame as fu%$. I learned the old school way and I'm pretty young. All I did was buy a wrecked mt07 for $500, i didn't want to wreck my brand new mt09, and in one day, I became really really good.

If you believe pulling wheelies is the holy grail of riding a motorcycle then zi would suggest you wait to go through puberty until you get a bike. Yes it is fun to pop up the front wheel, it is fun to roll on the front with the back in the air. However real riders know that the true skill in riding a motorcycle is the ability to take corners like a boss. It is all very good and well playing around, and understanding this control helps, but get real, cruising effortlessly away from other riders is so much cooler than poping a wheelie.

@@warrenseiboth3466 Not that I really have to justify anything to you but my bike history removing pre license bikes are cbr400rr, GSXR600RR (full Akro and dyno), Buell X1 Lightening Viper Stripe, CBR900RR, TL1000S (Full Akro and PC3), Husky T210e, Aprillia SL1000, GSXR750RR and currently FZ1N. I have also had Honda XR500 which was a wheelie monster. For work I had multiple CB1's and Bros 400, ST1100, FJ900 (great fun to wheelie surprisingly), Deuville (also a real laugh to wheelie just to see peoples faces), a couple of FZ6, a couple of CB600f, and probably a few more that I have forgotten. Not many cruisers in there though. So maybe with your newbie experience you feel wheelieing is where it is at, but when you grow some hair on your balls you will come to realise it is childs play and have better road skills is what sorts the men from the boys. And for the record, nothing wrong with cruisers if that's what people want to ride, as long as they aren't cunts it's ok right?
