this one is obviousely photochopped.

there's no smoke coming from the can, no oil drips from the case covers, the VIN is on the wrong side, the tank won't withstand the weight of a human, he looks english (it's not raining), and he still has the stock mudflap (ok, he looks english - that part makes sense).

;)

Shaft drive will wheelie just fine.  My CX500 would do it without hesitation.

Yeah, I know you can wheelie anything. I have heard many people say a shaft drive won't, because of some "fact" of physics. 

Anyway, I thought of that when I saw the picture, and I thought you guys would like to see it.

Its just a matter of maintaining it for me.  I can wheelie anything too with an 8k clutch drop, but I'm just gonna loop it!
