The following story appeared in "20 Minutes", a free newspaper in Switzerland:

Quote:
Im Wheelie die Polizei abgehängt
Da staunten die Polizisten: Ein bayrischer Motorradfahrer donnerte mit Tempo 200 an ihrem Radargerät vorbei – auf dem Hinterrad!

 Die Beamten konnten den Sünder danach nicht anhalten, weil ihr Wagen zu langsam war. Erst die Autobahnpolizei stoppte ihn.

Der Zweirad-Artist gab an, er habe seine neue Maschine testen wollen. Zum Vergleich: Der Wheelie-Geschwindigkeits-Weltrekord liegt bei 220,3 km/h über eine Strecke von einem Kilometer.

Rough translation:
A bavarian motorcyclist raced by the police radar at 200 kmh - on the rear wheel.

The police couldn't stop the suspect, because their car was too slow. The Autobahn police finally stopped him.

The two-wheel artist admitted that he wanted to test his new bike. For comparison, the wheelie-speed world-record is 220.3 km/h over a distance of 1 kilometer.

Why is there a wheelie speed world record?
