I haven't even attempted a wheelie on my TT250. Don't care to ever try, as I ride on the street. I view wheelies as something useful when off-road to pop the wheel up to get over obstacles...at low speed.

But, I do it without trying sometimes on my Orion RXB150. I am sure if I had the inclination I could do it at will and all the way down the road (as many videos demonstrate). Plan to use this capability when I need to on my next more difficult trail ride.

Obvious difference is the power to weight ratio...13.7 HP and 160 lbs. The TT250 is 18 HP (generous) and likely 315 lbs (I have panniers, etc.).

BTW, back in the 70's my buddy and I could wheelie with our little trail bikes...an XL100 and a DT100. The DT100 was easy (2-stroke), the XL100 took some technique like others have described. I think these were about 8 HP and 180-200 lbs.
