Default good or bad

warriors....good wheelie machines or too heavy/ not good enough acceleration.
mine isnt finished yet, so i was curious if this bike is a wheelie beast or just a cruiser?

Once you get them up into a wheelie they're as good as anything else, but the engine is positioned farther forward in the frame than other sport quads, so it's nose heavy and more challenging to pull it up. I can get mine up in 2nd or sometimes 3rd without popping the clutch, i keep the engine in the mid-rpm range, and nail the throttle and pull on the handlebars going over a small bump. If I had 20" rears instead of 22's, and smaller, lighter front tires i'd be able to do it without the help from a bump, but the 22's make the rear sit higher, and the heavy front tires add to the nose-heaviness.
