I doubt it. Maybe for like 5 or 10 feet if you really got good at it. To damn heavy, low gears and low HP.

I would not think so because of the low take off speed and the front wheels have like 10 inches of travel, plus they are heavy machines. It would be hard to ride a wheelie on one. They just are not designed that way.

I don't know.... if I wanted to ride on two wheels I would have bought dirt bike instead of a four wheeler..... but that is just me.

If you push real hard on the back of the back rack and floor it you can. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

You don't have to do any of that. Place it in high gear. Shift to 1st gear, holding the shifter with your heel while reving the engine to about 1500 RPM. Lift the heel and your front is now off the ground and rolling. I do this all the time with my little Suzuki King Quad 280 cc. If you get really crazy with it, you're gonna break something. Don't say I didn't warn you. Also, this works with a shifter, only... I don't know about the automatics. Automatic transmissions belong in the family car and buses... Of course, there are exceptions...
