I found this on youtube. There`s a couple of short second gear wheelies at the beginning. Up at 5k revs 45 mph. Shows how easy it is. Shameful behaviour on public roads, of course.

I should've known. Look at me- the newb. I officially feel dumb. PS Dealer says Fusion White is the only color that repels bird poop.

Don't know about the bird poop, but the ladies like white!

I often have to hold back not to wheelie in second gear, especially on on-ramps. Front wheel is always real light. I can just imagine what would happen if I got a set of Durranis.

I've put 1.5k on mine, and I have never brought the front up. The dealer kept stressing how careful I needed to be about wheelies, but I've never done one. I'm a big dude and I don't try to bring the front up. It is only a wheelie machine if you want it to be.

I'd say forget the dealers, man. Triumph knew what they were doing putting all that torque in a bike. Then again I am 20 and I do think I'm ten fee tall and bullet-proof. :-D
