98 Ninja ZX-7 too heavy to wheelie?

I've heard from numerous people that the older model ZX-7s are too heavy to wheelie, Is this true or are my peeps just hatin?

I could wheelie mine in first with no problem.
My buddy put a titanium akrapovic on his and could pull up in second.
For me to shift into second I had to have it straight up or it would fall. They are very heavy for a 750.

Well like tach said their heavy but it's not impossible. My buddy has a 96 ZX7 he wheelie's it on the highway in 3rd all day, he has to stand on the pass. pegs to do it but he get's it done!

Yeah I've always done sit downs. I feel like I'll get thrown off standing for some reason.

I used to pull mine up (sitting) in 1st and then shift it to 2nd.
