I was trying to find a clip of what I assume was a Kenny dreer 880 commando from over 10 years ago with the bike on the road popping a couple of power wheelie's but I can't find it
Anyone got a link?
Cheers

Thanks for the video LAB. I tried to find out how much horsepower and torque there was in 880. Do you have documentation about this?

I don't, but it was "...rated at 70 b.h.p. at the rear wheel." according to the UK NOC.

First wheel lift is with the clutch, just like my old zook 80.
Jury is out on the second.
Looks like fun til she blows!

I have experience with my ‘73 750 doing a wheely for about a block in San Francisco in the mid 80s. A new Barnett clutch gripped very well. We kept hitting red lights getting north to a club ride start. After getting away from the light I gave it a handful, lifting the front end. Phil Radford was with me so I have a witness.
