wheeling that is going to be nothing like doing it on a street bike, but its worth a try

If it were a YZ 250 would have been water cooled in 1984, the only YZ that was not was the 490.
Beaters are always fun, good solid bike the IT was.

It will still give him his practice and help him get used to being at a balance point. That is one of the reasons why stunters use the 50cc bike for anyway right?

yes and no, the 50s are good to learn some balance on but mainly how to use the rear break to save yourself from eating shit every time you wheelie. riding a big bike ie. (600cc and make) you know the break control and the balance point thing kinda comes along with it once you know how to slow the wheelie down
now as for the dirt bike because its a 2 smoker the power is not nearly the same as a 50cc or 600cc 4 stroke <--much smoother on those, alot of clutch control is needed on a 2 stroke in my option (dan herz where are you on this one) but others might dissagree

Its definitely gonna be a lot different. If he's just getting started and has never wheelied before, its gonna be tough learning on a 2 stroke as compared to a 50 or something, but there are some benefits to be had like learning the rear brake, gaining some throttle control and some confidence which can all be transferred to the big bike...I would say it wouldnt be the best bike for anything other then straight wheelies covering the rear brake though (sitdowns etc...) One last thing I recommend, be smooth as possible in order to keep the loop-age to a minimum! haha

What I'm getting from this conversation is:
1 ) I do not have the oldest dirtbike on BoRn anymore.
2 ) My old DR125 should be fine for learning to wheelie on
3) We should, as a group, seriously consider putting some type of medical professional on retainer
