long floaters

[flydnb]

has anyone noticed how good the bike is at doing long floating wheelies, not high balancing ones just long about a foot off the ground type , the more I ride the bike the more I like it, had some great riding today down here in dorset.

It's a great wheelie bike , I found standard mode the easiest , A mode was up n down like a yo yo .

yeah std is best for floaters and I like b mode funny enough for the more balancy high wheelies at slower speeds.

i find 3 pints of dark ale give me the best floaters.......i can stretch them out for yards. fizzy lager just gets me spinning off the line.....

I actually don't look at the speed I do it more by feel but at least 70 mph but to be honest they don't look as good as slower ones which are actually harder.

So, as everyone knows..it is very easy to pop a wheelie in Amode first gear. As well as Std mode.. I discovered today that in A mode, at 7000rpm, I could pop a lovely one about 90kph.
After that I was trying to get the front wheel up in 3rd.. Has anyone managed that yet without clutching it?

I find that if u give it a fist full in 3rd at about 7-8rpm and give a gentle tug on the bars u can do a VERY long 45 degree wheelie for as long as u like

At the 1/8th mile drags I basically had the front wheel about a foot or so off the ground for almost one entire pass, not the fastest way to go in a straight line but surprised me.
Usually we cross the line doing 160-170ks.
