Okay..how fast were you going when he wheelied? Give me these estimated speeds and I can tell you how he had to pull up the wheelie and if it was fast enough how much he had the bike sprocketed to do so..I still bet I could pop up the front end and catch my own RL with a better driver than I in the seat.. and as a side note..you do not have to censor ass...

Simple way to show off and still show up cagers =

Drop to second and gun it with a 1 down 2 up from stock on a R6 will not only wheelie it'll *gasp* accelerate. Shift into third and it'll drop the front end back down as you'll be doing well over 100 by this point..if you want to embarass them more shift into fourth and even being sprocketed like that you'll still be doing higher than your average econoshitbox can do. Now..if the bike was stock and you're maxxing out each gear..figure this

Ion RL shift points - (Note..I have shift lights and thus do not look at the speedo...)
30(ish)
60(ish)
95(ish)
120-130(ish)
>>>>>

STOCK shift points for my 600RR
75
110 (taking it easy..)

and it still has four gears left..



I very much seriously doubt he was trying too damn hard..or else AS I HAVE STATED BEFORE he was NOT that good of a rider..you can still show off and beat cars..only thing you have to worry about is those heavily modded exotics and V8's...leave those for the turbo 'busas...

So before you go and call me a non-believer..I said what I believed in his riding abilities before you called us non-believers...

As a side note..when you sprocket down your bike like that..it also increases your accel for a slight loss in top end..(who really needs to go 170+ on a STREET bike?)..unless he had it geared out with something crazy like -1 with a 72 tooth rear sprocket...then it's only for stunting and his top speed'd be like..90, but it'd wheelie in ANY gear..
