Boredom kick in. I fire up Vice City and steal a Faggio (for what reason, I don't know). Cruising around Ocean Beach, I decide to see how the Faggio can hold a stoppie. I press Square+R1 and push the left stick forward. I flip the Faggio and hurt myself. I get back on the Faggio, build up some speed and press Square+R1 and push the left stick forward again. Only this time, I let go of Square and R1 and hold X whilst keeping the left stick pushed forward. The Faggio crawls along the road on it's front wheel and I pull off a 12 second stoppie. I was impressed with this as with the other bikes I can only get 3 seconds max. I decide to see how the Faggio can hold a wheelie. I find that with the Faggio, if you get your wheelie right, you can just hold the left stick back and not have to worry about stacking your bike. The Faggio will just ride along vertically and you won't fall off.
 
I think i had close to a minute with a faggio for a stoppie. The faggio's wheels both spin, i believe (like a 4 wheel drive bike, but with 2 wheels) thats why once you can get the bike in a stoppie, you and lightly press the gas and it will continue going:D
 
The sanchez also works wonders for wheelies since you can just pull back on the bike and leave it in a wheelie without even touching the gas. But you do need to give it a touch of gas every once and while to keep moving. :D
 
Take either the Faggio or the Pizza Boy to the airport and go the start of one of the runways. If you start a stoppie and tap the X button until you're going a bit slow, then kepp your finger on accelerate, keep the bike balanced and you should be able to do a very long, slow stoppie for the entire length of the runway. It takes a bit of practice, but I've managed over 1000m and over 200sec using this method.


KM.
 
I used teh PCJ for wheelies a lot. I got to the point once where I could drive around the whole map, on any street, in fact, all streets, in one wheelie. Man, I had nothing else to do.
 
The PCJ is fairly good for wheelies. Hold the stick back and then give it slight bursts of acceleration when it starts to drop forward.
 
Sanchez is better for wheelies though...is the Faggio any good for Wheelies?
 
Well ive started this Stopppie business on the Faggio on seeing this thread and i got 1.25 minutes.
 
It always sort of tilts left for me...i can't get the bike exactly straight...and when i land i land sideways...

That's my problem. I've only managed 11 seconds. I've done 17 second wheelie on the PCJ - I'm not up to the airport yet so I was using the docks.
