Some are, but anything regarding power or doing them on the highway isn’t. Dirtbikes generally don’t have the power to do a sustained wheelie at 60+.

Acceleration isn’t needed to keep a motorbike in unicycle mode once it’s there — just good balance.

You need to look up “supermotard”.

Modern dirt bikes are not what you think.

Uh, uh. The power is irrelevant as long as the bike will do 60. Once the bike is at the balance point in a wheelie at a particular speed no additional power is needed.
