oo oo i have a similar image from an EC trackday, but 223km/h
no clutch involved, but i have an extra 400cc
It does 250 indicated if i click it into 4th.. im sure i could keep going... but it gets scary after that.

1. Cover the rear brake so if/when it starts to go pear shaped step on it & hopefully you will live to tell the story.
2. Grip the tank with your knees, I have STOMP grip on my tank now & although it doesn't look very pretty, you can hang on so much easier.
3. Practice Practice Practice.
4. Be careful as no legal liability will be accepted for any of my information when/if you crash.
I had MX bikes for years & learnt to wheelie them so I just transfered it over to the roadie, a 2 stroke 250MX bike is a good bike to learn to wheelie on & the current 450 4 strokes would be even better!

A 450 4 stroke MX bike should do clutch up top gear wheelies easy, I can do them on my wornout 98 CR250 & it's pretty gutless compared to the 450's. If you can practice on the mates bike, that would be the go.
