    What do you think is the best Wheelie trike there is?

    This is just an opinion but I am curious as to what you guys think the best wheelie trike is. I would have to say the 200x and the yamaha 225dx coming in a close second. What do you guys think.

    dont know.. only drove my klt, but i think it does some of the better ones because of the gas tank in the rear, doesnt take much to pull the wheel up.

    I would say Yamaha 200's, 225's probaly wheelie just as good though, because the motor sits so far back in the frame on them.

    any 2 stroke 250 trike wheelie the easiest except its harder to learn how to balance them

    Defently the 350x, it has the power to balance it where ever you want. the 110 and 70's are a close second.

    200x's dont have the power to wheelie where ever you want.

    I don't think there is any best but out of the ones I rode....... 125M, 200S, 200x,250R I liked the 200S the best.

    Since it had no suspension in rear end never squated or rebounded and the chain was always taught it all led to easier controlled wheelies. It also seemed the best balanced of the four.

    Doug Domokus (The wheelie king) used one too.

    For high speed controlled wheelies I'd pick the 350X even though I never rode one.

    Had to respond to this one

    My ytm is an AMAZING trike for wheelies. Well balanced and plenty of power. the 25X13 tires help, too.

    As Huffa points out, the 200s is also great.

    I would have to say my ATC200, I can go for a long long time on that thing. It always is balanced perfectly. That being said, I rode Howdys 350x at Trikefest that thing was insane for riding catwalks. I hit the throttle in 3rd gear and 4th and up she came. I bet that thing could be sweet for catwalks.

    I would have to say that out of the trikes I own, I can go the furthest on my 350X. I would say alot of it depends on what you are used to riding, but the 350 has enough power to keep you up at about any speed.

    I'd have to say my old chain drive Big Red's.... I use to be able to drive them forever on a wheelie!!! Just put my foot on the rear rack and give it gas and it would balance right out! I can't seem to get that balance on my 350X to ride forever on a wheelie... though I gas it often and lift it up! My 82R wheelies in about any gear with any quick jab at the throttle... that 2 storke combined with the 1st generation short swinger makes it hard to keep her down!
