That's why I'd be very weary about buying a 929/954/RC51.

Arent those hondas better at long wheelies due to how the oil channels are set up?

I think I've heard just the opposite (not sure which models), that the oil pickup was facing forward in the sump and oil starvation was a problem.

I thought that it was better since a lot of the stunters used them back in the day. Of course I cant confirm that ;)

Watch the beginning closer. The first dirtbike wipeout was the same guy, and the post is supposed to be vindication of the man's skills.

Don't know about the pickups but the balance point is supposed to be a mile wide on hondas of that era

Yeah, I'm about to buy an RC51. Guess who has two thumbs and won't be raising the front tire up like that?
