I just set up a Vimeo account a few days ago and have been working on learning how to embed videos. I would have never figured it out on my own without Busawhip's help. Thanks Dennis!

This is a little 60 second wheelie video from 2006. Some of you may have seen this? For the ones that haven't, enjoy it for what it's worth "Entertainment Purposes" only!

The best part of the flick is the shadow at the ending. Shows just how vertical the bike is!

I hope this works? :dunno:

great song choice :laugh:

I thought so as well. Up on one is kinda like rockin in a cradle. Get it up on that contact patch and gently rock it back and forth with the throttle.

I've always been a huge fan of John Fogerty & CCR! :thumbsup:

Be warned : Busa's wheelie when they want to and without regard for the operators feelings :laugh:

Heavy bike, hard on fork seals and puts a nice scar on the front fender. Yes they wheelie and you don't have to clutch the beast, just twist the wrist at 4K

If you watch the clutch hand on the video you can see the shift to 2nd as soon as it's up.

Yes, you can wheelie a busa just like any other bike. It's just heavier and you have to stay on top of the throttle. If you let it get started down from the balance position some times the power won't overcome the weight and she ends up on two wheels prematurely.
