Wrong ...wrong...wrong...the kfx 700 is easiest and im gonna tell you why...the auto tranny and the gobs of low end torque it has. i ve wheelied mine so far..had to be like a quarter of a mile but i dont anymore becuz its hard on the motor....but all you have to do is put the throttle in the sweet spot and hang on...no shifting to worry about.

getting the front end up is one thing

being able to do a controlled long slow wheelie is another thing

the 700 is one of the worst for this because of the belt drive

I've owned two different Banshee's, a Raptor 660, and now my Raptor 700 and I can honestly say that my wives 06' Honda trx250ex is the easiest to ride a wheelie on.....I can ride a wheelie for damn near ever....no kidding. I know it doesn't have the power of most quads but the question was, "What Quad is the best for wheeling?" JMO

I don't know about RIDING wheelies, but for getting the wheelie started, I think the yfz 450 has the best whhelie power... lots of thumping low end torque.

I beg to differ about the 400ex, yea its got an easy point, but it's also a narrow one, bein a 660 owner, i know it's not quite the best either, throttle is touchy for long wheelies.. now i also have a raptor 350 (wife) and i have to say, that is the easiest quad to ballance i've ever been on, i can go well over a quarter mile, and i'm not that good on it.

First off, 3 wheelers pull REAL easy whoolies. But, you prob. aren't looking into that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] 250ex has a super light weight front end, making it "super" easy to pull whe(o)lies. I'm not sure about the 300ex, but if its anything like the 250, get it. It will be easier on the 300 anyway because it has a clutch. (Of course)

warriors by far hold the best wheelie.,...

they are like some horny guy who has high blood pressure and just popped a whole pack of some "stimulate"

once it's up.. it's easy to keep it up
