Would a stock 1800R be able to pull a wheelie?

There is a guy on youtube that rides a wheelie on a neo about 2 bike lengths. I think the neo is about 50 lbs heavier than all the others. More impressivly is another guy on a goldwing.

Make sure you get a case of fork seals before you go to tossing that thing around.

60 K on my 18R, and while I usually don't take the front off the ground more than a foot or so, Prolly a good hundred or so times, my seals aren't leaking yet.....probably will tonight since I posted this. My bike sits curb weight at 880 with a full tank.

With me on it, a good 1130.

I thought that's what crotch rockets were for!

That's what dirtbikes are for.

The thing about wheelies on a crotch rocket is that you lose 90% of your stopping ability when the jackass pulls out in front of you.

Of course, if you are doing wheelies on a public road you kinda deserve it.
