it seems the lighter the bike, the harder it is to get up in a nice controled stable rate. my 82 gs750e was a bad ass with the wheelies, i could only hold it to 3rd but that heavy ass engine didnt rock back and forth too easy once up, you had to clutch it up in first, slap 2nd before finding ballence point and then tap 3rd and let it settle down.

Now, I haven't exactly tried, but has anyone been able to do this at 5200ft altitude?  I would suspect that there isn't enough HP up here to do it, but I am just wondering.

i did mine at 4600ft alt.  on stock gearing the first time with a bike that had 56k on the clock

currently +9 on the rear and wheelies are oh so easy to get up from almost any speed in first and i can bounce/clutch them up in second... but i can't keep the wheel up...
