Do motorcycles go faster when the rider does a wheelie or is

you absolute retard

>>17492829
The other way around, games do it backwards. Bikes go faster to the point where they can do a wheelie

less tire contact, less resistance
less tire contact, less traction

Just do some math nigga

>>17493020
but doing the wheelie means the bike is less aerodynamic

couldn't find pics of 2 or 3 specifically doing a wheelie

>>17493034
arguable.
If you take op's pic, the biker is not a drag factor anymore.

>>17493020
More weight on the rear tire = more traction.

>>17493020
Less aerodynamic, more resistance

Shifting the weight of the motorcycle on to the rear tyre deforms the contact patch (larger), which increases the working area of the tyre

This increases the amount of work that can be done and also increases the threshold of tractive effort required to break traction (wheel spin)

In reality, a motorcycle accelerates fastest when the front tyre is slightly above the road surface (max weight on rear tyre = max contact patch), as steeper angles increase the surface area presented to the air stream (simplifed... but higher coefficient of drag)

A motorcycle already travelling at max speed will not go faster if wheelied, the forward force is in equilibrium against the forces of mechanical friction and aerodynamic drag (the latter of which increases exponentially with speed). Therefore increasing the drag coefficient will only increase the drag acting on the bike, slowing it down

A good wheelie (I.e. not a 'chase it with the throttle until you run out of gear' wheelie) will have you maintaining a speed or slowly speeding up, rather than what's portrayed in video games.

oh man, this one got the nostalgia running in me

Watch the Veyron vs s1000rr video on YouTube to answer your question. The bike wheelies even with the rider tucked because of the power

But does it go faster as a result?

The further upward the bike is angled, the easier it is for the torque to overcome the gravitational force, while at the same time not measurably improving the traction from weight on the rear tire which is already solid simply from the weight shift during acceleration in the first place. So in conclusion is probably even worse than trying to stay flat during acceleration and is only done to look more dramatic, otherwise MotoGP riders would do wheelies during starts which they don't.

The techno songs were fucking godawful in MC2 and MC3, MC1 was the only one with good ones

What

Bikes aren't awd nigger

Most riders are massive bitches when it comes to the acceleration of their machine and are unable to utilize its full potential. Just ask the next biker fag you see at the gas station about how fast their bike is. Then watch them. Most of the time I see other riders on the road and they're trying to go fast you can tell they're not using the machine to its full potential.

If you're accelerating at full throttle there front wheel will come off the ground. Doing a full blown wheelie when the goal is accelerating as fast as you can is stupid though.

this doesn't seem like he's going to wheelie at all

You have weird taste in music. I'll agree on the the electronic songs being trash in three, but they were the best in 2. The original was weird. Not very memorable imo.

yeah cause that is only a 600cc. those aren't going to come up under their own power the same way a liter bike will
