It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I've never wheelied my bike, but a friend tried telling me that it wouldn't power wheelie. I ride a 2000 R1. When I bought it, the guy claimed it had 165 at the wheel.

.

i had a 2000 R1 and it will power wheelie, at least in first, maybe 2nd if you're really on it, a stock 2000 R1 should have about 130 at the wheel, i dont think my 05 GSXR 1000 has 165
