difficult...and risky lol
After the wheelie has been executed, the balancing point is found at the upright position (that's the difficult part).[B)] The only balancing point during a wheelie is when the bike is maintained at the upright position. A loss of this balance will either result in the nose coming down or the bike flipping on it's back (that's the risky part lol).
When the bike is balanced like this, much speed is not necessary to maintain the wheelie. You know how you can be going really slow and still maintain balance on your bike? Well, that is all the speed you need for this stunt because your bike is still balanced...like it is when you are just traveling slow on both wheels.
A combination of throttle and rear break is used to hold this position.
