I went on a ride with a buddy and his hopped up Yamaha R1. We were doing power wheelies at low speeds.
We were cruising at 115 mph and he was in third gear.
He was 4 feet from me as I watched him throttle up.
His bike did a huge power wheelie and he set it down at 140. I saw his left hand. He used no clutch. I never thought those things had enough for a clutchless wheelie at that speed.
I love to power wheelie my Speedy but hot dam those R1's have SOOO much power it's outright scary.
