Do a wheelie!

wtfh4xx · July 8th, 2011, 10:36 AM

Yells the passenger from the truck in the turn lane to my left.
I glance back at the lights to make sure... Yup, his protected lefts green and I have a red with oncoming traffic.
I shout back to him, "its your light" gesturing wildly.
Finally the driver stops staring at me and glances where I'm motioning, oh snap says his look and then I hear them yell thanks as the drive off.

I proceeded to lol all the way home.

Silly 250 fooling people with her sexy looks.

video of you riding a wheelie (including you stating its for ninjette.org) or it didnt happen

greatwhiteninja · July 8th, 2011, 12:01 PM

Its not easy either.. compared to a 600 or larger bike anyway. not enough power to get the front wheel up. unless you use the pass foot pegs lol

Don't be giving the secrets away

alex.s · July 8th, 2011, 12:20 PM

there's a big difference between not easily doing it by itself, and not easily done. 600s will wheelie 'by themselves' if you don't know what you're doing. (as we've seen in countless squid crash videos) if you know what you're doing and try to do a wheelie, you can easily wheelie the ninjette.

I'm not taking a video just for you.
We know it can be done

WOTurtle · July 8th, 2011, 01:07 PM

I've ridden dirt bikes my whole life, so lofting the front wheel isn't anything new for me. But the ninjette is NOT easy to wheelie safely. You have to spin it waaayyy to high, while basically sitting still.

greatwhiteninja · July 8th, 2011, 06:55 PM

its geared so low i bet it doesnt go over 30mph lol.. he makes it look easy tho

caps · July 8th, 2011, 06:58 PM

that bike is so modded it's not even funny

Live2ride · July 8th, 2011, 08:44 PM

A few weeks ago I was riding down a 25mph street when a guy walking down the side of the road gestured to me that I should do a wheelie. I shook my head at him for two reasons: #1, I'm not irresponsible like that and I wouldn't just pop a random wheelie on a low speed street that police tend to watch closely and #2, there's no way this bike could pop a wheelie at 25mph

.

KawiKid860 · July 8th, 2011, 09:16 PM

Totally off topic, but the ninjette is the best sounding twin in the world imo. It's also one of the best looking bikes in the world. That being said, you guys are noobs if you cant pop a wheelie with the ninjettes abundant 25 (or so) horsepower *total sarcasm* anyways yeah if that guys claiming its so easy to wheelie the 250 then he should do it himself, since all of those videos posted looked pretty tough besides the one that was really modded, and it was really modded so different story lol.

Jesse8931 · July 8th, 2011, 10:30 PM

How tough is it to stand in the back pegs rev it up and drop the clutch

WOTurtle · July 9th, 2011, 08:53 AM

Im talking about a real wheelie.
