Front tire in the air

[Guest]

I once (unintentionally) wheelied my 650G on throttle alone, so it seems to me that the 1100 should be able to do it.

My L reaches for the sky just with throttle.

ATB1998, (Not to high jack this thread) A friend of mine had one of those FJ1200. I did the head on it (ported), big bor kit, with cams, flat slides, 4 into 1, that thing went 9.69 @133 on a street tire at our locall drag strip. I witnessed that pass. Rich was an average rider and about 185lbs . A bad bike it was. Those FJ's would run.

.. Yes they will run.. I had a 1989 with less than 8800 miles when i sold it. Fast, smooth, comfortable, just too damn quiet and didn't seem to have much character. I had it to 160 mph with my 210 lb. ass on it. Still had more throttle, i just ran out of nerve.

If it flips over you have busted your ass.

Wow.... I didn't realize my '74 RL250 had that much power My buddy was putting through the yard walking speed in 2nd gear, I hollered at him and said to crack the throttle a little. He twisted it all the way and that little bike just leaped up into the air and left him hanging over empty space, looked hilarious sitting on his butt as the bike wobbled a few feet then fell over.

My 81 GS 1100 with a Pichler full fairing and taller than stock gearing will pick up the front wheel at about 6000 rpm in first gear,but usually only in cool weather. Bored to 1105 cc,pipe/K&N filter and mild head porting.
