Motorcycle practice wheelie machine (http://www.dpccars.com/motorcycle-09/02-14-09page-Motorcycle-practice-wheelie-machine.htm) This would be a great way to learn wheelies but I wonder if it feels like the real thing.

theyre not too bad actually... the only thing you cant really practice is your side to side movement as the back wheel is fixed. but as far as finding your balance point, its pretty cool.

i've tried one of them. its not bad, but if you learn to wheelie on that and get the balance point on it, then you try it on your bike and if its not the same one, then you might be in trouble. also like trick said, you don't have to worry about the side to side balance.

But doesn't wind resistance count for something when you're riding a wheelie?

thats exactly what I was thinking. that thing looks like it would be fun but i wouldnt get too confident on that thing thinking you can ride one like that with real world factors involved when you step off it.
