I'm thinkin it the rider....then the bike...just my opinion
I have rode wheelies on most machines we have owned ( we been buying and selling 24+ years ). yes, any machine can wheelie, but the 350x's have the power to lift the front wheel in all gears on flat terrian. The other machines normally need some help in higher gears.
Some riders can't ride a wheelie at all. So yes, the rider can make a big difference.
its more about how good the rider can do a wheelie than the bike
I like the 250 sx cause enough power to get the front up, rear brakes on the handle bars and auto clutch
definitely not any older Honda's. Most Honda's don't even have suspension
Although I haven't ridden a few of the models mentioned so far, it's gotta be the 225DX for me! It takes conscious effort to keep the front wheel down!
3 Wheels:
1982 Honda ATC 185s
1983 Honda ATC 250R
1984 Yamaha 225DX
1985 Honda 250SX
1986 Honda Big Red 250ES
4 Wheels:
1986 Suzuki LT50
1987 Honda TRX 250 Fourtrax
2023 Honda Foreman
Maybe it depends on balance of the trike or how easy it is to get up, but my YTM200 with an '82 ATC250R front end is incredibly difficult to keep down.
The YTM200 front wheel alone is much, much heavier than the Honda one. The fork lower being aluminum instead of steel is another huge difference. Then there's the disk brake instead of drum. The unsprung suspension travel of the 250R forks is another big difference.
It's really easy with just throttle to pull the front wheel up in third gear. In first, it's just about unrideable during heavy acceleration.
Riding it fork kicks is fun but it's a handful on trails because of the low front wheel traction.
