Is the 650S more wheelie-prone than the naked version? I know they have a different sprocket, or something.

I have done a few in first, but none in second. All accidental of course.

I believe the naked is geared more toward wheelie antics.
The SVS is faired and geared for higher speed cruising.

the sv comes with a 14t front the svs has a 15t front, but i dropped mine one up front so its the same now. it required a whole lot of throttle to get it up in second but felt more stable than most of my first gear wheelies.
