Yes, best place to practise this sort of thing is just outside a police station! They may just notice you out there, and with a bit of luck that will be your first and last 'wheelie!Good luck with that.

Its a bit of a "black Art" you just sort of feel whats right and go with it, it depends on what type/size of bike , a good tip is to try and cover the bake brake, as if it goes a bit pear shaped then a slight tap on the brake will bring front wheel back down, if your playing with a med size bike say 600cc try this drive along 1st gear about 2000rpm pull in clutch &rev to about 6000rpm and quickly let clutch out this should get the front to loft a bit, but you have to do all of this QUICKLY! practice driving along at first and just pull clutch and rev to 6000rpm but dont follow through with letting clutch out wait until you master the throttle first ,keep trying and when you have then try the clutch this has to be let out quickly too try holding it in and instead of feeding it out let it "Ping" out try with only 2 fingers. This was how I was taught on a Bandit 600! alll that remains to be said is that this is very dangerous and it Will go wrong in the beginning and later as well,make sure you are prepared to pick your bike up and replace all the broken bits without complaint as its your idea to do this and most importantly hope you dont permanantly damage yourself, oh by the way dont try this on public roads as plod will have your licence away !

first you need a good spot with no cars or people so you can take your time and their is no pressure. (indutrial area at night or the hwy at night) you need to master throtle control and body position, dont "throttle chop" you need to be smooth(this comes in time). body- sit in the front of the seat, not the back it thrgh's of the balance of the bike, knees in(hug the tank) lean back keep your body straight, most importantly, keep your arm's in a lockout postion(this will steer the bike if bent alongwith body leaning. now to wheelie your bike, lets talk 600cc, bring your rpm upto where its going to make power, let off the throttle, bring you body down(chest to the tank) then throttle the bike up while leaning you body back. bring it up slowly without chopping then back down. keep doing this until you get higher and more comfortable when the bike stop accelerating your at the balance point. while in a wheelie you can look to the side or through the forks(thats if you sitting down)stand-ups are accutuly easier. when tring to find the balance point you can try to learn in 2nd gear(the bike will come up slower).

you need to prep your bike for wheelie's first get rid of any slack in your throttle and your chain. the bike must be tight so you have more control. also let some air pressure out of your back tire, this will give you more balance. their are more things like clutch and brake ajustments but this is the basics, start with this then ask more because i could write all day about this.

oh ya, if a cop see's you doing a wheelie thats a instant dangerous driving charge so im not going to tell you what to do but i know what i would do.....

Hahahaha yes thats for sure....

Movistardae you said it very well... Thats how I did it for my first time.. I Found it actually easier when going fast in 1st like you said.my first sport bike was a honda 600F4i. and i would bring it to about 10,000rpm and just play with the throttle to get the front to come up... I even found goin up a hill made it easier and i learned fast doing that....
