just pullled my first 2nd gear wheelie ( baby one at that):laughing
went on a great ride and just playing around on the way home, I was able to pull it up a little a couple of times and I was stoked :teeth .
then when I was merging on the highway, I pulled it up at a crease in the road.
now I just got to keep it up! ( ha ha viagra for bikers huh?)
everyone was right though, 2nd gear is nice and easy to do, not so much torque like in first.
thanks for the wheelie help.

hehe..i'd guess the r1, the sv is a little trickier in 2nd w/out clutching it...

if not, congrats, you have more talent than me
 
ha ha, yeah the r1. the sv is a little trickie, could never find the balance point for the sv in the millisecond it will pull up in 1st. super torque. could never get her to come up at all in 2nd though.:(
