John, any of the newer litre bikes will do wheelies at 120 just by rolling the throttle on. |

Doubt it all you like, until you actually ride one you simply wont know. I know for a fact the 04 ZX10$ & the R1 will both do roll on wheelies at 130 mph. |

Just another e-bay scam. The seller has all their feedback for girls shoes. Do you really think that's for real?!?!?!? |

The point of a 120MPH wheelie would be what? Can't die fast enough at that speed with the wheel on the ground or what? |

BTW- anyone interested in doing those wheelies, I will buy some life insurance and we can split the proceeds, I get half, your widow gets the other. Good business proposition I think! |

The point of a 120MPH wheelie would be what? To prove how powerful it is, obviously! Rocket |

Given what we know about these new litre bikes, I would simply assume they were very powerful. No need to get airborne or dead to prove it (IMHO). |

My 03 GSXR 1000 will easily stand straight up at 120mph in third gear. No clutch, no pulling at the bars, just turn the throttle to the stop and hold on. Hell the new R1 and ZX10 are just shifting into 2nd gear at over 100mph and will do the same with absolutely no effort. You don`t have to try and wheelie, the bike will do it by itself and often without warning. I have ridden them both and the scary part is that they pull so hard you don`t even know when the front wheel is 6inches or 1ft of the ground until the front wheel comes back down. Definatley no point to this kinda riding on the street, but it is fun. |

I got to ride the Euro ZX10R and the power is well in to the scary zone. Riding from Heidelberg to Saarbrucken was a most interesting trip. Best descriptor I can think of is Stupid Fast or Stupid Powerful. |
