i have a 06 250ex and could wheelie forever, u just gota no that it wont flip if it hits the grab bar.to star try in first with one foot on the grab bar and one on the brake so u could learn brake controll.then once u get beter try it in srcond gear and once u find the balance point try shifting.now the only way i could ride a wheelie threw all 5 gear is with one foot on the grab bar and one to shift.it just takes practice and ive never wheelied a banshee but i know its hard becouse of the power bamd so hang in there

All it takes is tons of practice, when you find "the point of no return" and hit the grab bar a few times you will be way more comfortable and be able to wheelie forever. I would recomend flat grassy area to start out that way you dont freak up your grab bar. Hope I helped :D

i never rode a banshee, but i think i would have to agree. they have a light switch type of power delivery and tha makes them hard to keep balanced, because either ur on or ur off

yeah.. Banshees are not the best wheelie bikes. They DO however have a great balance point. Problem is getting there with such a harsh power delivery. Nice thing about it is high speed wheelies. 3rd4th gear pinned. I can wheelie my friends banshee on the beach with a set of paddles for lord knows how long.
