I love my Hyper Motard....

[alounacara]

Let me count the ways
#1 Instant throttle response
#2 Instant approval from the Harley and Jap bike people
#3 Attacks corners with a healthy appetite
#4 Wonderful exaust sound
#5 A work of art in the looks department
#6 Women think i am a badass even if i am just sitting on my Hyper
#7 Wheelies with ease in third gear
#8 Can run over armadillos and not go down
#9 Can smoke any crotch rocket on the sidestreets
#10 Puts a huge grin on my face everytime i ride

Why do you love your Hyper?

Well said! I think Duc marketing will like your list. Gig'em

I cant even get the thing to powerwheelie in second gear after $3,800 in exhaust and tuning

But the bike is awesome. Just needs to be geared down and a bit more power, but I'm working on that

Cheers

Really? I just dump the throttle from around 4000 revs and it lofts nice and easy.....1st gear I don't even like trying because it comes up so fast.

#11 Unlike jap bikes and Harleys, not everybody has one.

I noticed that right away on the way home from the dealer.

The funny thing is, the Hyper is seriously geared tall. 6th gear isn't even usable unless you are doing about 80 mph. I'm most likely going to go one tooth smaller on the countershaft. What would first gear wheelie be like then.....?

I think thats the way to go. I have a 44 tooth Stealth rear sprocket and 520 conversion on order. May be the key

Once you get used to it, 1st gear wheelies are fun if you don't go big. I like to let the front wheel loft a1 foot off the ground across the intersection when the light goes green. Enough to have a little fun, but not get a ticket.

Parker, the only thing I can think of with your bike is that you are just getting too much humidity in Washington to have the power to grab a 3rd gear wheelie. Come late September, you should load that thing up and bring here to AZ. Well head to the mountains for a run through the twisties and there are some great remote areas in the lower elevations along the way to ride wheelies.

Out!
