The Biaggi Wheelie Explained


Over 90 degrees of motorcycle wheelie, or the past vertical 1 o'clock wheelie.
I'm here to give you all the specifics. It's been called the Super Wheelie or the most Insane Wheelie you've ever seen.

Massimiliano "Max" Biaggi following his 500cc MotoGP victory performs the bat shit crazy Biaggi Wheelie. Some believe this was by mistake. Clearly he was demonstrating a razor like control over the bike. Biaggi slowly brings the motorcycle upright and while the bike is rotating backwards he applies the rear brake in order to control the front wheel back down.

  1. YOUR OBVIOSULY AN IDIO IF YOU THINK HE DONE THIS ON PURPOSE! NO-ONE NOT EVEN VALENTINO ROSSI WOULD DARE DO SOMETHING THAT COULD RUIN A VERY EXPENSIVE PIECE OF MACHINERY, WHILE CROSSING THE LINE FOR A WIN. HE WAS SAVED BY THE REAR FEARING COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE TARMAC, IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DANI PEROSA 2007 HONDA, HE WOULD HAVE COME OFF AND LOOKED LIKE A TOOL.

  2. Marc Howlett, if you look at the video the rear fairing never makes contact, and these were 2 strokes not very advanced 4 strokes with all the greatest electronics.

  3. Ummm its a well known fact (admitted by Biaggi himself in many interviews) that he slipped off the rear brake.
    And besides - it is clearly not intentional. The wobbly angle says it all
