this is impressive - I know they've got shyte loads of torque, but they also weight half a ton.......

I would bet that they had to take the tire pressure down to give the rear wheel a bigger contact patch to get the front end up.

If for some reason I was forced to by a cruiser *shudders* it would be a rocket II or M109R. No doubt.

The rear tire would be low, it's a streetfighter technique for slow wheelies.
I have ridden a Rocket 3, I can get the front up, just lotsa gas off the lights and it comes up about an inch... But that is a big effort...

That's impressive,
