My DR-Z has silly gearing (14:49) on it for enduros (proper walking pace first gear, useful when you're trying to thread a comparitively heavy bike through a tight woods section), which I thought would make it a wheelie monster with the supermoto wheels on it. It actually made it harder to wheelie than when it was on 14:41, because the gears are now so short it runs out of revs before the forks extend fully, let alone the front wheel lifts.
It is hilarious though - you can pull away in 5th with a bit of clutch abuse, and you just ride it like a twist-and-go once it's moving
