I could do that if i wanted .......just dont want to       

[Boomer]

I have done, but not on purpose and nowhere near that long.
It's easy enough in 1st and probably possible in 2nd & 3rd if you know what yer doing.
No, I don't know what I'm doing and never have done.

Looks good when it's done properly ! .. but not by me !!

I'm I getting to old now? because I can't see the point in wheelieing a 320kg gtr besides the potential damaged to the shaft drive, gearbox,forks,steering head bearings,wheel bearings and your prize bearings if the heavy sod should land on you

[Rusty]

Yes but Dave ... the ZZR with Akros pointing downwards would look  .. very  .....

in my much younger days I would have defo put that to the test but with the zzr1441 you don't need to pull a wheelie to look  dam!!! even my old fellow would look  on my zzr1441 just sitting on it and he's the wrong side of 80

I know I'm a grumpy old buzzard but the rider in that video is a total effing moron - right past a row of cars parked nose to the kerb, what's the chance some other maroon backing out without so much as a rearward glance 

I'll bet when the big ole GTR bites back it bites hard !

Two reasons I ride alone - I'm old and slow and I don't want to risk being associated with a tool like that.

Now, time for a Bovril and a little lie down

Mad Max, I like your style. See Dave its not just me that's sensible and rides slowly.

  I have never tried to wheelie my GTR, but I wheelie the ZZR nearly every journey, just cos its so easy and feels great ( I am choosy when and where and its not for showing off, I do it just for me)

Hello max .. Welcome !
You are not grumpy ... just a bit more sensible than others ! Enjoy the lie down

Coman, I love my GTR1400 - only been riding it for a few months - but I keep drooling whenever I see a ZZR - what's your take on the Z - is it a completely different experience, or just a GTR 'with legs'??

Cheers!
