    Best wheelie bike?

    What's up guys? I haven't been around in a while, I sold my 250EX and my 250R and had to buy a new car. Anyways, I loved the 250EX for the wheelies, as some of you guys might know how they wheelie. So now I'm in the market for another bike, but I'm gonna buy used. Out of ANY make and model, what do you guys think would make a great stunt quad (for wheelies). I will rarely ride in the trails or pits, as mASSachusetts is getting stupid w/ ATV laws. So I figure if I'm gonna get busted, I might as well wheelie the streets. At this point I don't care. I also got picked up by a motorcycle stunt team who let me show off on one of their bikes. I toyed with the idea of a Suzuki LT250R or an older Banshee. I need something that will carry my fat butt in nice long wheelies. I'm not into top speed or handling, just straight up torque. How are blasters? I've never riden one and never wanted to, but they are cheap. Anybody with a bike that has good OR bad "wheelie reviews", please post them here. Also let me know if your "wheelie review bike" was modded in any way and the year. I am mechanically inclined so reliabilty/maintenence isn't priority #1. I appreciate all the help and info. ~Robbie

    400ex is the best by far imo. The new yzf sucks for wheelies imo, the raptor tends to get boggy on a wheelie imo, banshees are hard to keep in the balance point and require you to be ready to hit the brakes constantly.

    i got 3 hondas

    Well, I got a 2000 400EX, 1998 300EX, and a 2003 250EX here at my house. I ride them all, and for wheelies......I like the 300EX best. The 250EX is a little down on power and harder to shift smooth. The 400EX is fine, but the 300EX seems to balanace a bit better, bit more forgiving. BTW I can go through all the gears on the back wheels on each of the machines, so it isn't a matter on not being able to ride better on one than another, just which is it easier to do it on. Anything you pick (As long as it is a Honda 4stroke ) will be just fine. Just my 2 cents.

    The 400ex is the best Imo
    The above information may be speculative, based on misinformation, contain inaccurate data or could be entirely tongue-in-cheek...depending on how litigious the reader may be, how much liquor I've consumed and or the read has consumed, or the degree of stupidity and/or gullibility exhibited by any poster/reader I may respond to

    Only quad I've ever wheelied with was an '03 stock 300ex. i've only had the bike for about a week, but i can do great wheelies standing on the grab bar. If you just wanna do wheelies, go with the 300ex over the 400ex. No reason to spend all that extra money if you're not gonna use the extra power.

    any EX! The Z and KFX 400 are pretty easy to wheelie too, but I haven't ridden a wheelie on one of them...
