Hey guys, I don't know if I'm the only one, but I've been riding an SM700 for over two years (damn what a bike). I tried doing wheelies for the first time this year, and—what can I say—I'm just too stupid for it. It’s like my body refuses to let go of control. I come from a supersport background and have done a lot of training and sim racing with cars, so my entire muscle memory is wired to keep the vehicle stable. Don't get me wrong—I can ride my GasGas incredibly fast; I certainly don't need to be ashamed of my tire edges—if anything, people think I'm crazy for how I ride. But I just can't manage to get the wheel up because, the moment it even starts to lift or the rear end tries to break loose, I catch the bike again in about 0.0002 seconds. That’s actually a good thing, but it really pisses me off. I’m torn: I know wheelies are part of Supermoto riding, but I feel like I’m just too hopeless at it, no matter how many videos I watch or how much practice I put in... Am I the only one?

Hey Leute ich bin stolzer Besitzer einer Gasgas SM700 auch wenn viele sagen dass diese (so wie 701 und 690) keine echte Sumo ist. Mir persönlich egal an dieser Stelle ehrlich gesagt aber ich würde trotzdem gerne wissen wie sich eine "echte" SuMo fährt und wollte fragen ob jemand hier in Mittelhessen Bock hat oder sich erbarmt mich mal seine/ihre umgebaute EXC fahren zu lassen, würde im Austausch auch meine zur gegenprobefahrt anbieten. Vorzugsweise EXC 350, 450, 500). Danke im Vorraus :D
