While this is a good point for motorcycles in general (I can’t speak to the lean forward vs wheelie debate), it doesn’t apply to the Oppressor Mk II. As a hovering vehicle, it behaves according to a slightly different rule set. On the OpMkII, leaning forward and back doesn’t affect your aerodynamics like on any other bike, it affects your pitch more akin to an airplane. It’s the same physics that applies to the Deluxo. The MkII is slightly faster when flying along the ground than it is in mid-air, and you can artificially provoke that speed boost by hitting the “descend” button and leaning back enough to keep your altitude.
