Dramatic footage of a motorcyclist performing a wheelie at high speed on a busy suburban street has prompted appeals from police to identify the rider.
The video, filmed in Seven Hills in Sydney’s west, captured the masked motorcyclist yanking a Kawasaki trail bike up onto its back wheel while weaving in and out of traffic and through a red light.
Moments later, the rider appeared to stand on the seat of the bike while precariously balancing on the one wheel.

Police are calling on any information that might help officers locate the brazen offender – whose behaviour, they say, is a cause for ‘serious concern’.
‘It not only shows a blatant disregard for the safety of other road users, but also for the rider himself,’ Commander of Traffic & Highway Patrol Command operations, Superintendent Julie Middlemiss said.
‘Not only does the rider go through a red-traffic signal in front of other vehicles, but the person filming the incident does so as well.
‘We are seeking the assistance of the motorcycle community, road users and the wider community to identify this rider and the driver involved in filming this totally unacceptable behaviour.’
