Will it wheelie with ease, I didn't try (not my bike) but from what I have heard and read, it does - including third gear. It did run it through the gears hard and I am sure with a little tug it would have come up. It pulls hard in 1, 2, & 3, while 4 & 5 are taller, it still pulls pretty good. Top end 156 km/hr.
The DR puts out about 35 hp - corked or upwards of 50 with all the mods. Just like two strokes, four strokes have come a long ways in 15 yrs. Th DR is under 300 lbs, not light, but right in there with all the other bikes in this category. You have to remember that this is a dirt bike made street legal.

I grew up on motocross bikes bike in the late 70's . . . and those CR's, YZ's, etc. would wheelie with ease as they had gangs of power and were light. However, the "enduro" bikes back then were heavier & had less power and, as would barely wheelie. I've not ridden a dual sport in 15 yrs . . . how are the modern ones, performance wise?
