As an old biker myself, I know wheelies are naughty/illegal but to what extent?

If the definition of a wheelie is that the front wheel is off the ground, (so could be by only an inch or two), that seems significantly different to someone deliberately pointing the front wheel at the sky for a hundred yards.

If I accelerate briskly my motorbike will lift with ease even at low rpm; a torquee twin. But I don’t do it or make it bigger to impress, (I'm way past 'the madness of youth' stage), and the added risk is negligible compared to someone trying to scrape their number plate off.

Is it at the discretion of the officer because, AFAIK, it could possibly be classed as DD or DWDC,? So it’s an area all bikers should be aware of I think, and I don't honestly know how it's assessed and/or prosecuted...
