Will a Yamaha R1 wheelie if you open the throttle?

Is it possible to keep the wheel down by leaning on tank with full throttle in low gears?

You can't keep it down.

No.
You blip that throttle and she's coming up.

The 400 doesn't adequately prepare you for an R1.

Get the R6

yerp, but it will actually go faster if you roll on the throttle with the speed, and all-so it wont lift. but if you crack it, the front will go skywards.

Leaning on the tank in first may not be enough to keep it down depending on your body weight. It will wheelie readily on the throttle in the lower gears
