Summary
- Wings on motorcycles, while popular as an aesthetic choice, are primarily effective for increasing stability and downforce at high speeds of over 150 mph.
- MotoGP bikes benefit from wings due to their ability to maintain speeds of over 200 mph, where the aerodynamic efficiency of wings is maximized.
- While currently mostly limited to racing bikes, future advancements in dynamic aerodynamics, such as retractable or movable wings, could make motorcycle wings more effective and useful for road-going sport bikes.
