What irritates me is!
Those 6-packs work pretty good.

hey josh, when are you going to get some more videos up?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ive been waiting.
what do you mean on a streetbike you usually have to use the clutch to get it up? i thought those things had so much power you could pull em up in almost any gear. im not an expert on streetbikes at all but ive seen a lot of videos. can you really tell me that an R1 in 1st gear cant lift the front end to the balance point from a slow roll without using the clutch. that doesnt make sense. those things should be able to pull up in a least 3rd. maybe im just wrong or confused but can someone set me straight?

As soon as we find a spot to ride we'll get some stuff on tape and up on the net....Hopefully that is in the very near future cause I'm dying to ride/film too.
Yeah, streetbikes have a lot of power, but the power band is pretty weird. You also have to take into consideration the gearing of them.
My Gixxer 750 will come up in 1st and 2nd with no clutch, but I can only pick it up in 3rd about 1.5 feet off the ground if I try without using the clutch. The main reason you use the clutch in gears that you could pull it up without it if you wanted us because you have a lot more control of how the wheelie comes up.
Obviously, the more power the bike has, the easier it comes up...so it varies from bike to bike.
1st gear on a bike is faster than 5th or 6th gear on most quads....you can go right around 70mph in 1st on most sportbikes. If I pick mine up in 2nd and ride it out, I'm doing about 115 when I set it down on the ground.
