The invention relates to the field of vehicle engineering, and more particularly to gyro-stabilized two-wheeled vehicles, primarily motorcycles. A gyro-stabilizer for a two-wheeled single-track vehicle, preferably a motorcycle, is configured in the form of a gyroscope in a gimbal mount, an outer ring of which is connected by a two-way axial pivot joint to the frame of a vehicle, wherein the axis of said joint is oriented along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle; an inner ring of the gimbal mount is connected by a two-way axial pivot joint to the outer ring; and a spin axis of the gyroscope is connected by a two-way axial pivot joint to the inner ring of the gimbal mount, wherein the axes of all three pivot joints are mutually perpendicular, and wherein the gyro-stabilizer has a means for locking rotation of the outer ring about the axis of the pivot joint between said outer ring and the frame of the vehicle. According to the invention, the gyro-stabilizer is disposed on the swingarm of the rear wheel and has a means for locking rotation of the inner ring about the axis of the pivot joint between said inner ring and the outer ring, wherein each locking means is in the form of a servomotor which allows the forced rotation of the corresponding ring in response to a command from a microcontroller controlling at least the speed and the permissible bank angles of the vehicle, and an additional weight is secured on the axis of the pivot joint between the inner ring and the spin axis.
