  1. There's been numerous threads about this subject on other forums. All inconclusive.

    What do you think? And what proof do you have? :tongue:

  8. Having just finished a love affair with a vfr1200, I can positively say yes, you can, proof? Ask my mrs, I still have the bruises

  9. I've pulled the occasional wheelie on my GS with Mrs CJ on the back, at the traffic light GP.

    No proof sadly :rolleyes:

  12. Maybe but I'm certain plenty of shaft drives can be wheelied. Many years ago I had a Z1000ST, it wasn't a wheelie-monster by any means but could still get it up...

  16. Accidentally wheelied my XJ900F when I started to get a tank-slapper induced by cats-eyes. Gave it full throttle and up came the front. I was waggling the bars in utter panic at that point. The BMW driver I was over-taking at the time must have been wetting himself.

    Not my finest moment, but it did avert the tank-slapper :upyeah:
