History Main / CoolBike

* Being a game centered around BadassBikers, ''[[GrandTheftAutoIVTheLostAndDamned The Lost And Damned]]'' has no shortage of cool bikes. Looking for classic ''Easy Rider'' or 1950s-style choppers? Hang out at an Angels of Death turf. Is a modern custom steel horse more of your fancy? Call Clay to send one in. Prefer crotch rockets? Look around in northern Algonquin.

** Many of them have awesome names to boot, whether in the series itself, as with Dark Glass's "Delta Eagle" and Jack Atlus's "Wheel of Fortune", which in the dub has its name changed to "Phoenix Whirlwind", or in supplemental material. Some of the other names the main character's "Yusei Go", which appears to be a reference to "{{Speed Racer}}", as well as Blackbird, The Beast(dub-only, unnamed in the original), Giganto L, T-666/Terrible Omen, and Bloody Kiss.

* "{{Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds}}" is this trope in a nutshell, where almost every major character has a motorcycle that they use to play card games. And many of them have awesome names, most of which are not referenced in the series itself. The only two that are mentioned by name in the series are Dark Glass's "Delta Eagle" and Jack Atlus's "Wheel of Fortune", which in the dub has its name changed to "Phoenix Whirlwind". Some of the other names include Yusei Go, which appears to be a reference to "{{Speed Racer}}", Blackbird, The Beast(dub-only, unnamed in the original), Giganto L, T-666/Terrible Omen, and Bloody Kiss.

* The vehicles in ''{{Rideback}}'' are essentially CoolBike meets TransformingMecha.

The BadassBiker ''always'' has a Cool Bike. An Anti-hero is likely to have a Cool Bike. {{Action Girl}}s often have Cool Bikes. Cool Bikes may have a CoolSidecar.

* [[PeeweesBigAdventure Pee-wee's Big Adventure]] is all about Pee-wee Herman trying to recover his cool bicycle.

* Torque has plenty of ''very'' nice bikes, but the turbine-powered Y2K definitely takes the cake.

* ''{{Biker Mice from Mars}}, where the Cool Bikes used by the protagonists were not only cool, and armed to the teeth, but sentient as well.

* [[Comicbook/GhostRider Ghost Rider's]] bike is cool mundanely. It's even cooler in Ghost Rider mode, what with the chains and skull and flames.
** And it leaves a trail of flames... and can ride up even ''vertical walls''.

* The bike created by the Librarian, and ridden by [[TheGrimReaper Death]] in ''Discworld/SoulMusic''. It actually falls to bits quite early on, but the ''idea'' of the bike remains, resembling light reflecting off a gleaming machine, only without the machine. Unfortunately, because it was created in accordance with rock music tropes, it isn't designed to slow down, much less stop safely. It's ''meant'' to crash at the end of the [[strike:third]] eighth verse.
** [[spoiler:Eighth, as the whole sequence is an extended tribute to [[MeatLoaf Meat Loaf]]s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9WeTf67YLY Bat out of Hell]], down to the ''silver black phantom bike''.]]

* Wes from ''[=~Pokémon~=] Colosseum'' has a hoverbike monstrosity that could count as this. It even has a side car that his Espeon and Umbreon ride in (Rui takes the seat once he rescues her).

* ''DawnOfTime'', after our prehistoric heroine jumps through time to a post-apocalyptic future she swaps her triceratops companion Blue for a triceratops-styled motorbike, BLU 1.

** [[KamenRiderOs Os]]' bike can transform into a ''soda machine!''

* ''{{Blassreiter}}'' '''IS MADE OF THIS!'''

* Ex Driver (or, to capitalize it properly, éX-Driver) is an anime about cars - the glitch-prone AI-controlled ones all normal people drive, and the [[CoolCar old, all-manual sports cars]] the protagonists drive in order to catch the aforementioned AI ones. So it's all the more surprising when one of the protagonists turns up on a Ducati, which has a lot less trouble catching the runaway cars than the old cars...

** BOSS HOSS.

* Dodge Tomohawk. It uses the exact same engine that the Dodge Viper sports car does. What sort of engine is that, you ask? A V-10. A very high-displacement V-10. Unfortunately this makes the bike a case of AwesomeButImpractical, as the weight and size of the engine meant that it had to have 4 wheels and the fuel tank had to be mounted way at the front to avoid the heat the engine gives, and has a fuel economy figure of about 60 feet to the gallon
