I would say both!
But no one has a 450r yet to say for real.

How would anyone know what wheelies better? If anyone has ridden the honda, I'll give you a dollar. And why wouldn't the yamaha wheelie? Would you say the same about your YZ250F because it's a race bike?

i have a question about wheelies, and i know i'm gonna sound like an idiot. i can wheelies standin up, or with my foot in the grab bar, but i can't even come close to wheeling while sitting down. the only way i can get it up is to pop the clutch in the wet sand. i've only tried it in sand so i think that might be my problem.

lol, thanx for the advice, i'll give it a try next weekend when i go out. my front suspension is pretty crappy right now, the springs r worn out and too soft, so mabe that will make it easier? i'll give it a try.

um yea i dont think anybody has riddent the honda 450 yet..
and i dont know how u can say the 450 isent good for wheelies
ive had the front end up through all 5 and rode it a little in 5th
its accually easy like any quad you have to learn its ballance point
u cant just get on a new wheeler and think you can ride a wheelie

the balancing point is pretty nice.. not as good as the 400ex but ive ridden one across a corn field 5th gear. for about 800ft... and the only reason i stoped is because i ran outta rield.. so my experience is pretty good.. but im not really afraid of fliping over

i haven't ridden the honda 450r yet but i have ridden the yamaha 450... Being that it's so race oriented i found it hard to get the front end in the air.... The engine has the power it's just the frame won't allow it...

I have to disagree with yfz blaster, Once you really get the hang of riding wheelies to the point where you dont even think about it, you should be able to ride one on almost any bike.

crobiker just load your front suspension. run it up to the best power range let of the throttle to make the front dive a little and as soon as it starts to extend hit the throttle again, then again i could just be talking out my butt? thats how i get the front up on my street bike and it's worked on my DS too. off course i've gotten so good at it that the other day i was able to bring the front all the way up and back over on me. glad nobody saw it!
