I can tell you about doing it on mountian bikes!

The main problem is that you don't get the front wheel high enough. You need to find the balance point. If its too low you tend to use more throttle to try and keep it up, you then run out of revs.

Trouble is, the balance point for sustained wheelies is actually very high and it fells like you are going to go over the back.

Once its up and at that balance point you keep it there with throttle control and back brake. You'll need very little revs or you can change gear and just go faster.
