Anything can be wheelied. Doug Domokos used to ride around on the back wheel of a Kawasaki Voyager 1300 6 cylinder.

My buddy at the Honda dealership where I used to work wheelied everything in the store, including Gold Wings, Valkyries, Shadows....even Silver Wing scooters. That guy could probably wheely your Prius.

In Defense of the CB1100
I’ve always wanted a car that can wheelie... on a normal street, on street tires..

Now that guy was entertaining! I saw him a few times when I was young.

Me too. Watched his high wire wheelie act at the Del Mar Mile about 20 years ago. It was amazing. Evel Knievel was there too, giving a talk to the crowd. Poor guy was hobbled. Both of 'em -- RIP.

He'd ride around the entire motocross course at Red Bud (near Buchanan, Michigan) on one wheel to keep the crowds entertained between races. Good stuff!
