'MotoGP 07' motorcycles
THQ’s “MotoGP” series is known for its hyper-realistic renditions of Grand Prix motorcycle racing – the kind where the rider drags his knee on the ground while taking corners. Unfortunately, these games were so detailed and accurate that they were too challenging for the average player to enjoy.
Thankfully “MotoGP 07” bucked the trend. These bikes still look as awesome as ever, but now they’re easier to control, and a lot more forgiving while taking corners.";

'Tron' Light Cycle
Talk about a bike that can handle a corner! The Light Cycle in “Tron” could hit a 90-degree turn with a simple flick of the joystick – and leave a wall of colored light behind it for other riders to crash into. Of course, if you weren't careful you could easily pin yourself inside a box. Man, we hated it when that happened. ";

'Excitebike'
Did you think that extreme motocross was a new phenomenon? Heck no, Nintendo was into it way back in the ‘80s. “Excitebike” had gamers racing around a dirt track and getting huge air off the jumps. The crazy part is, you could actually land the bike on its front wheel and keep going. Now that’s extreme racing!";

'Road Rash' motorcycles
We loved EA’s “Road Rash” when it came out in the early ‘90s. Not only could we race motorcycles around the hilly countryside, the game let us punch the other riders as we passed them. Time the blow perfectly and you would knock them out of the race. At last, a game that embraced our road rage. ";

'Paperboy' bicycle
No, you don’t get to ride a motorcycle in Midway’s “Paperboy,” but so what? It has one sweet bicycle – with a basket on the front to hold your newspapers – that is just too cool to ignore. Plus, “Paperboy” features a bunch of neighborhood kids riding Big Wheels (those little plastic tricycles with large front tires). How awesome is that?
