I wanted to see the wicked stand up wheelie on the Yamaha.
Nice vid, much better than watching on the phone.
Almost certainly the case. Mine is very fast.
ST wheelie woulda been nice. But far easier on the KTM.
53 year old fat guy and wheelies on my 950 are effortless. Solely a right wrist event.
On the ST it is TC off and some coaxing of weight shift and wrist timing. She does it though.
A buddy that I ride with often has seen the KTM, the SV, and the VTR reaching skyward from behind. (I can be a hooligan when traffic is scarce. shoot me. ^-^ )
The first time the ST stood up he said "holy cow! That beast is HUGE in the air"
I gotta be honest. I don't enjoy this bike in that way though. It makes me behave.......different than all the other bikes. Completely different mission. I don't ever want to get there. I just want to keep going.
Great video, by the way.
