That is a big bike especially if you dont have alot of dirt esperience and if its a light NEW gsxr. Damn things are close to the same weight as 600 a few years back! If you dont have ALOT of experience on dirt then take it easy and just ride the bike normally for 6months to a year. wheeling that bike would come pretty easy but stopping and turning is where you could get hurt. if you want to learn wheelies, try to borrow a friends 50 and learn on that. Good luck. Have fun. Be safe.

Re: Newbe- Help

I wouldn't even think about wheelies until you're real comfy on that.
Take the MSF course if you haven't already, it might cover most of what you already know but it'll re-enforce a lot of stuff, and you get like 10% off of insurance.
Just take it easy, learn to corner, anyone can go fast in a straightaway but it's the corners that seperate good riders from decent riders. I'd definitely take some sort of course though.

And start writing "to"

Just Take Your Time And Dont Rush It.get A Fiddy And Learn Throttle And Rear Brake Control.i'd Say Throttle Control Is The Most Important Thing Doing Wheelie's.
