> 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.

Yeah my freind has an 08SXF and i hate the way you sit so far forward and above the bars. My 08 RMZ on the other hand i love…high bars and its a 5 speed. Works just fine for wheelies :lol
