    I believe that's the first 110 I have seen with a twist throttle. Nice wheelies though, I wish I could get my trikes to ride wheelies like that. I guess I'm just too light. I have to sit way back on the rack of my 200s to even get it to do that. Never tried it on open road though. Being only like 125lbs doesn't help I guess. My 200x lifts up easier though.

    I love my twisty lol,, it's all about where you sit on the bike. I couldn't wheelie worth a crap until I got on a YT125 and tried riding it. You learn that rear brake real fast!!! I'm only 150 pounds but I'm 6'4 so I think the height helps me out. It's all a matter of practice and not being scared to put your wrist/thumb into it!!

    Your size doesn't matter Ghost..it's just practice.

    You can start by doing cheater wheelies if you have a pull handle..knee on the seat with one foot in the rear handle and bring the front up. You can do this until you figure out your balance then put your butt on the seat. It's great if your trike has a rear rack, that will reduce the number of times it comes right over backward!

    I still haven't mastered it, but then I'm 46 so it's not quite as important.
    Current toys..
    1986 Honda 350X..trail bomb!
    1985 Honda 250SX..my main mudder
    1985 Honda 250ES..Back in Black Trike
    Current non-trike toys:
    1990 Honda TRX300FW
    1995 Seadoo GTX
    1998 Polaris Indy Lite 340(Nearly new looking)
    1998 Polaris Touring 500
    1998 Club Car (electric)

    Try letting some air out of the rear tires, it will come up easier and will balance much easier too. once you've mastered a wheelie this way you'll be able to do it on just about anything.

    Very true! Plus it 'slows down' the tires 'reaction time' to the throttle input (IMO) and it definitely makes steering a lot easier. The softer the tires the easier to get it balanced. But the more important body English input is. In my first video you can see me leaned to the left a lot. That's cause my right rear had less pressure and it kept tracking away on me. L
