Doing a burnout on either bike was effortless. Click it into 2nd, grab the front brake hard and let her rip. I could produce a cloud of smoke anytime/anywhere. The Rocker is a different animal though. With that gumball tire on the back, a skinny front plus only a single disc to hold it it ain't easy. No matter how hard I hold the brake the tire just slides. Without cheating by putting the front tire against something its tough. I gave up on standing burnouts, every now and then I dump the clutch on a roll and get some good rubber but thats it. Not sure it will do that stock cause I never tried, I have a 103 w cams and its pretty easy.
Thanks Reds, that's most of what I was wondering about.

I wouldn't mind a little more front tire on the bike. Anyone know of options that keep the same wheel style?

Sounds like his rpm limiter is working good though.

What about no wall or water and high heels

That doesn't count either.
Most sportbikes are easy to do burnouts on.
