This is their MotoGP racer with Andrea Dovizioso aboard. OK, it may not fly in the sense that both tires
don't leave the ground for any extended period of time, but it does have wings!

And it's a biplane!

Panty liners have wings, too. Cool story.

My Sky Arrow has a Ducati voltage regulator.

Does that count for anything?

To be accurate, they are airfoils but are not wings. Think of it as set vs. subset.

Most Honda civics have wings in my old neighborhood. All Subaru WRXs have them too.

I would describe what I see a above as an airfoil designed to keep the fron wheel on the track. A wing is designed to lift. That pic above is designed to push.

well... it appears as though Rossi's bike is not a biplane:

...does that change anything? Maybe NOW they are wings! aha! Stevie 1, internet 0.

That guy would make a terrible pilot. Can't stay in the cockpit. I'd like to see him try that trick in a Stearman.
