Nore is most new race dirtbikes. My KTM SXF wont wheelie for shit. The 6 speed has too short a gear to give you any rev range to hold/work a ballance point. And the balance point is WAY up there, and the seating & peg location is so far forward it is like sitting on a take and 12 o clocking it. Race bikes, dont = stuntas. My KTM 625SMC on the other hand = wheelie champ. ---
