* ''VideoGame/WildArms4'': Kresnik is both described as a modern knight in promotional materials, and is codenamed "Pale Rider" after one of the HorsemenOfApocalypse. But the technology of the game's world is roughly analogous to the second half of the 20th century, so he rides a motorcycle instead of a horse. In his cameo in ''VideoGame/WildArms5'' it's a ''bicycle'' instead.

* ''Anime/{{Durarara}}'' has an extremely literal example in the form Celty Sturluson's horse, Shooter. Celty is a Dullahan, hiding out in Ikebukuro as she looks for her missing head - so in order to better fit in, her ghostly steed now takes the form of a motorcycle. Fortunately, everyone else so intimidated by her [[BadassBiker presence]] that they don't usually notice the way her bike still makes whinnying noises whenever it revs up.

* Kay'la from ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'' takes part in a jousting competition shortly after summoning her first magic horse, but quickly realizes she has [[IdiotHero no idea how to ride a horse]]. So, taking advantage of the fact that one competitor is a [[MechanicalLifeform warforged]] on a clockwork steed, she shapeshifts her own horse into an identical copy (to qualify it for the tournament) and then rebuilds it into a motorcycle.

* Celty from ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' is a modern-day headless spirit called a dullahan. Her preferred method of getting around is a reanimated headless horse, [[{{Glamour}} which she disguises as a pitch-black motorcycle when she boards the ship for Japan]]. As a bike it doesn't have any headlights, still has [[TheShadowKnows the shadow of a horse]], makes hoof steps instead of engine sounds, and also whinnies on occasion.
* ''Literature/FateZero'':
** One of Saber's special abilities is skill with all forms of vehicle transportation. Unsurprisingly, she upgrades rather quickly from horse to motorcycle. One episode of the anime is even titled "Knight on Two Wheels."
** This skill is also demonstrated by Berserker, who skips the motorcycle and goes straight for a fighter jet.
** Subverted by Archer: he may do it, as all the greatest horses in history belong to him (along with all its other treasures) but he prefers using an ancient Indian spaceship.



* ''Literature/GoodOmens'': The HorsemenOfTheApocalypse now ride motorcycles.
