Use a Top-Case and fill it with stones.
Rev up in first gear and you will get up your front wheel as long as you
want, if you can change gears.
;-)

If you don't have a Top-Case, Try riding in 2nd gear at 6000 rpm, then
close throttle, push in handle bar, give full throttle and you will pop
a wheelie.
If you can't do it at the first pull at the throttle, open and close the
throttle a few times and then hit it hard.
