Yes, it wheelies, in fact you can be in high range at up to around 10-15mph and assume an off the seat aggress stance and floor it and it will pull right up. I've had mine six weeks now and it's never been in low range and I've climbed some killer hills. I was riding last week with a co-worker who races bikes and rides a 400ex for fun and his exact words were " it just ant right to see a 600lb machine going by at 30mph riding a wheele" he was tell another co-worker who owns a Honda Rubicon about our day. The only trick to a dead stop wheele is you have to put yourself into a little bit of an aggressive riding stance (knees bent,butt of the seat, arms somewhat extended) to pull a good wheele. Because it is a 4wd with alot of weight up front and the back tires from a dead stop will break loose even on hard pack, cement, thick grass or what ever.

Ride Safe, All

I test rode a 650 a couple of weeks ago at the dealer and even with zero miles on the odo, it would pull power wheelies in high range. When broken in and everything loosens up and the rings seat, it should be even better.
Pretty much, I'm waiting for the dealer to get a red one in... Then I'll have a Kowalsi to go with my Polaski.
