I posted these in my project thread but it seems to be the done thing to double post 'em (plus I want my attention). 
They're both K6-K7 GSX-R 600's, the black one is my mate Tony and I'm obviously on the blue/white. Other forums instantly slate him for not wearing gloves, but he only doesn't wear them for wheelie practise as he feels more in control apparently.

If you're talking about this...
It's completely intentional, I purposely swing wide and lift it whilst leant over to send it into a wobble as I think it looks hard as fuck when a bike powers it out of a corner and they're still leant over with the bars at complete opposite lock.

I was about to say no standing up wheelies is gay I was going to comment on the lack of gloves but obviously it's his choice! Both bikes look lovely.

if you can wheelie a push bike, its the perfect starting place, as the balance etc feels the same, just that instead of the throttle, your feet are used as the throttle.
think i might go out on my cbr today 
and nice botts xaos, same as mine

yeah i know what you mean, but if you can wheelie a push bike, the balance point on a road bike feels the same (if you can get it upto there that is )

All depends on a mx if it two stroke then just pull up on Bars when you hit the power band and your off but i think 2strokes are unpredictable i love my 4strokes wanna sell my corsa and get a yz426 lol

can do it couple different way on motorbikes too,
power = just pinning the throttle and the front lifting by itself.
backing off and lifting = powering upto the power band, roll off the throttle then back on and pull up on the bars and balance the throttle.
ping the clutch = throttle on, then dip the clutch. let the revs come up and release the clutch. (make it sound easy, but getting the clutch/throotle balance right is important)
had the front end up myself a few time today, either power, or pulling on the bars.
