Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 9:15 amOk year now updated in title,.
Definately does vibrate your tads off, and these later ones have anti-vibration mounts apparently!! Probably just rubber pads!!
The rear sproket is huge, but I believe that is cause of the belt drive, but yes they do wheelie very easily. (Not in my hands thought), Craig Jones used to use them all the time for his stunt shows.
Just another bit for those intrested, yes the front brake is rim mounted, also the petrol is held in the frame, and oil is in rear swing arm, what makes it wheelie more than anything is the 1200cc v-twin!! and the bike is as short as it looks!!
