trebor4460 0 Posted May 2, 2011 Bet you got your ear bent Stue when you got home, B12 are very wheelie happy in 1 st gear, specialy 2 up, a b12 should lift her nose just under throttle in first with no slipping the clutch, i somtimes even get the wheel lift a touch in second too if i catch it right, not too good on the headstock bearings but good fun.

These B12s lift up a lot easier than the B6. I've only done wheelies by accident but both were in 2nd gear and I'm sure I messed my self Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BanditMike 0 Posted May 3, 2011 Brave guy, making comments like "forgot she was on the back" in public view for all to read . I've had the front end of mine off the ground once or twice, all by accident . The eldest tends to pull away on hsis VTR on one wheel, benefits of youth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
