How to Wheelie a Motorbike

I short video I shot for AMCN on how to wheelie a motorbike.

Dan I managed to wheelie a couple of Blackbirds I owned but purely by dropping the clutch and winding the throttle open. Having watched this I am now going to try it on my 1200GS. Who would have thought at 65 I would still be acting like a 16  year old. Age is just a number Dan Thanks for posting.

This is the very first decent tutorial I've seen! Wheelie is an art, it connects man and machine even more!

I bought a new bike. My wife thinks it's for commuting, but it's really for wheelies.

Not only is this guy a good rider, he is also a natural on camera. Really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video, now I just need to relate how this will work on my pushbike.

I watch this video periodically from time to time and this guy is so smooth and it's a great refresher to watch his skills....just wish I could do it as good as he does.

This is the best Wheelie video I've seen, brilliant!

That's what I call professionalism. Great tutorial and phenomenal performance. I also liked the way you put the video together. Thank you Sam, keep up the good word.
I applied all your tips on practice and made a huge progress. Using the rear break to build and generate the energy is a great technique. I was able to drive my bike on one wheel for about 20 seconds for the first time. However, it is not consistent yet. It happens every now and then. Lol
Thanks

Those views of your foot and your hand at the same time are so helpful.

iv watched a ton of these videos and this is the only 1 that explains to hut the brake/throttle combo to get the momentum up. thank you for that easy explanation.

I’m sending this message while i’m on the wheelie. Thank you, you’re a great instructor

Green light hits... I give it a bit too much gas or let go of the clutch too fast or both... my CBR500R hits 12 O'clock and ends up in a balance zone for about 5 seconds. I land it nicely and continue riding as if nothing happened, even though I've almost shit my pants... This just happened to me a few days ago and I have to say I now have a damn good reason to learn how to control the wheelie and this video is one of the best I found!

Graet explanation. One of the most direct and detailed at the same time vids I watched. Thanks

[BertrandMonsieur]

[TJ-ssww]

I flipped and died trying to do a wheelie like you said? What should I do?

[OmarHaleemOne]

Up until this video, I was convinced I wasn't in for wheeling lesson being taught right here..but this wasn't bad at all..nice one mate. Thanks.

[danlikesred]

Very well explained. Thank you for the Street Triple eye candy as well!

This is the best wheelie video in youtube why couldn't I find this when I needed it

If you get a couple of mates to lift a stationary bike to balance you will be amazed how large the range is between falling forward/ backwards actually is. This is a very good way to gain confidence.
