Damn thats a nice bike to practice wheelies on lol And you're either pretty confident or unaware that you won't take a tumble while practicing wheelies. Put on some gear so your skin doesn't get shredded

I know everyone has their own opinion with getting onto one wheel, but I would highly recommend learning to clutch up before just trying power wheelies. Once you learn to clutch up you can wheelie any bike, even lower CC (which I recommend learning on anyways). But good on you for picking a nice empty lot 👍🏻 keep at it!

lol i also moved back to 3 times a week in the office and so far i am commuting by bike, my only concern is that its a light bike that can be easily stolen so i have a massive chain that i left where i park so every day i just chain it . Other than that , i try to "surf in the slipstream" cars are producing to make commute somewhat more comfortable (on highway) , filtering is legal here and this bike is built for it :D

I'm not sure on the specific differences in the bikes, I thought it was just wheels and then colors of plastics but that is never a bad idea. You could have the best of both worlds in 1 bike! It's like when I used to convert dirt bikes to supermotos, you would just have 2 sets of wheels, probably have to upgrade the brakes and then re-work the suspension, but not sure you would want to do that every time..
