My old Honda 185s is the best for wheelies, easy balance point and long distance without having to go too fast.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I've done long distance wheelies on most sport quads and my old Z400 was the easiest quad to wheelie by far, even with one hand, it spoiled me actually. The 400ex and 300ex are very good as well, they would take 2nd and 3rd.


You guys may laugh, but another quad that wheelies good once you get it up is the Recon.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] They are balanced well and you can chug a wheelie for miles on those things. One time we had 5 people (1 on the front rack) on a Recon and rode across a corn field.

wel i own a raptor and i can pop wheelies like changing gear its jsut so easy. took me abit to master the balance because in 1st the balance point is further back than in 2nd and 3rd because of the speed. but i can just sit back and ride wheelies, however as you know if you have a raptor, they sometimes do wheelie too fast and you have to back brake, so the front fdrops and then you have to rev and it flys back up lol , but its part of the fun. hondas ride wheelies well, but i prefer raptors. the new 700 is longer and ive heard its not as good at wheleies. shame looks like a nice quad....

I can ride a wheelie for a ways no doubt maybe a mile or sompin till it completly craps out and sputter pops.. Its not that a crapter dont wheelie its just not the best. wheelies can be ridden on anything. hell i ride em on a sportsman 500 rode them on a honda 4trax300 4x4 Best wheelies i have seen came from honda trx450r's and ive seen some nice ones on 400ex aswell. Warriors are one of my favorite for wheelies or the 400ex

That about sums it up. I can wheelie my Bear too, but that doesn't make it the best.

I got a 700 raptor and started wheeling, i sucked at first, but last time I went out i was riding them up dunes and down the beach long enough that i got tired and set it down. 3rd gear is sweet for that. Just pop it up and cruise about half throttle.
