Simple enough question. There's a semi-complete list here (http://www.ttbikesim.com/game/the-bikes/) but feel free to name something that's not there yet.

I reckon the RZ250/NSR250 (2 stroke :D) should be good as well as the zx12, purely for the power. With any luck some GP bikes will make it in, a 500cc 2t would be especially nice. :cool:

Hi
Probably the HONDA VFR400 NC30,
http://www.playstation.jp/scej/title/tt/bikes01/honda19/front.jpg
probably because its the only bike ive owned that appears in the game, I want to see how they've represented it in the game and wether they have captured the destinctive V4 sound :D.

Also would be nice to see what pulling a weelie on it looks like ;).

Shame they dont have any 125's would like to have seen em, looking forward to crashing the MV's and aprillia's because it would be way to exspenive to do it in real life :D

Welcome to the boards, Luke. :)

Crashing my Aprilia RS125 was expensive enough so yep, I'd imagine likes of the RSV are best kept rubber side down. :lol:

It wouldn't surprise me too much if an SP1/2 showed up in the game as I'd have thought a lot of Honda's will end up in the game. Finger's crossed it does though, the more litre twins the merrier.

I've played the Jap version of the game for a couple of days now and still keep being amazed by the handling of the bikes. Each bike feels different, handles different and has it's own dash....

As for the best bikes to drive in the game, the Yamaha TZR 250 and Honda CBR1000 RR Fireblade '05 Racer are the best!

The thrill of speed and the movement of the bikes is just unbelievable real, I drove the Nurburgring yesterday with the blade and the bike moving around combined with the tight track gives a great speed sensation!

So for all you bike loving fans, give it a go...by far a better game than the MotoGP releases!

Hi, noob here.

GPZ900R... brilliant bike in it's day.
DRZ400SM... should be fun at tight tracks.
NSR250R... fantastic proddy racer.
VT250F... all corner speed.
CB750F... should be interesting if nothing else.
MT01... 'cause I want one.
RSV1000RR... 'cause I want one.


Wish the'd included the RG500 and RZ500 though.

Can't wait... only 4 more days here!

Welcome to the forum. :)

It's about time they sorted the US/EU release, you wouldn't think it would take 2 months to translate. Still, maybe there'll be a few more extras to make up for the wait? :D

At least it's more exciting than this one:

I was gutted that there seems to not be an RC30 or RC45 in the game... but they did throw in an NC30 as a little side-order to keep us happy.

Yep, and they work great don't they? The sound is nigh-on perfect for the big strokers.

Hi all, just registered.

I've only put about an hour in arcade mode, and i'm impressed at the number of bikes included. The graphics look pretty nice, too.

But......the bike physics seem a bit off. Maybe too arcade-like? For example, unless i'm missing something, none of the stock bikes will do a wheelie. I've also tried some laps on a V-Max, and after having owned one of these, will say that there is no way you could pull off stuff like nailing the throttle in mid-corner....that bike would've broke loose and tossed you with the torque it has.

Hate to be negative already, cause i'm glad the game was made, but still.

What mode are you playing in - Standard, Semi-Pro or Pro?

I am suggesting you try the same schenanigans in Pro Mode and see how that feels. ;)

And also to be sure, just as GT4 is a great "simulation-like" arcade game, it's still not quite real... but a damn good facsimile :)

I thought I had tried the Pro mode, and only noticed a little more tire spin out of corners. I'll have to re-try it, though.

Thanks, RC

You lucky bastard, I always wanted an original VMax!!!
As I remember it, they took a Venture Royale motor and gave it the V-Boost treatment. Do I remember right? I also remember it getting into the 9's under Cycle World's tutelage. Awesome. I'm a circuit racing guy, but by crikey that thing blew away barriers.

Yup. you're remembering correctly.

Once I owned the thing, I realized i didn't like it as much as I thought I would...and actually preferred "slower" bikes like the V65 Magna and Yamaha Fazer.

If you can visualize a dump truck with 2000hp, you'd get an idea of how I thought the V-Max was.

Welcome to the boards, Zeke. :) Hopefully the switch to 'pro' mode makes all the difference.

Ha! I've heard that from a few owners, that it takes constant effort to get it cornering properly. More of a stoplight special.

One more thing about my V-Max.......it was an 85 model, and I bought it used in 87 off of a muture owner who put a little over 3,000 miles on it and he also installed a few extras; like a sissy bar, engine guards, and a small screen.

Now, mind you, back then they were being sold new for a little over $5,000.

I paid a whole $2800 for mine, and sold it 2yrs later for $2600 :)

Ahhh, those were the days!

I couldn't see paying $10,000 for one now. For that money i'd probably get a Hyabusa instead 8O

I'd really like to get the tz250 in my garage. After several attempts i got within .5 sec but could not get any closer so I've moved on for now.
