@#1: The image of the bike’s been flipped because:
a: the logo’s mirrored
b: If he were really doing a wheelie, waving his right hand would cause him to immediately fall back down, as it’s the hand that should be on the throttle keeping the bike up in the air.
@#4(b): or, he could have jacked up the idle speed and is controlling his wheelie with the clutch.. (although it looks more like he’s got a hold of the throttle cable rather than the clip-on) /pedant
Point B: not really. If you get the balance right and the gear right you can hang pretty well in a wheelie w/o your hand on the gas, and if you’ve got a throttle lock, which a lot of stunters do, you’re definitely fine for a while.

Gotta wonder why he wouldn’t be riding a Voxan or Wakan or some other French sport bike?!

#1 – look at the logo on the tank, the original artist had it right, but the entire photo has been flipped at some point.
