Motorcycle Motorcycles and Hoverbikes are a mode of transportation that appear primarily in the " Compilation of Final Fantasy VII " , but also make appearances in several other games . Functionality wise , they operate roughly the same as real - world motorcycles . However , their design is radically different , and in " " , they are also capable of maneuvering in ways no real motorcycle possibly could . Appearances . " Final Fantasy VII " . Cloud Strife rides a display motorcycle of Shinra make out of the Shinra Headquarters leading into a minigame in which Cloud must ride behind a pick - up truck carrying the other party members while using his sword to attack pursuing Shinra Electric Power Company troops on their motorcycles . The motorcycle minigame when escaping Midgar was the first idea for a minigame for " Final Fantasy VII " . There is a simple trick to avoid being hit ; only the orange enemy motorcyclist seems to attack always , as the red enemy motorcyclist stops attacking if Cloud is continually slashing with his sword , even if he is only slashing air . Thus the easy strategy is to kill the orange motorcyclists and leave the red ones , and then continually press the attack button and the enemy motorcyclists will stop attacking the car . The minigame can later be replayed at the Gold Saucer Wonder Square , where GP and a Speed Source are awarded for a high enough score . Cloud ' s motorcycle is the Fenrir whose wheels are much wider than a normal motorcycle ' s , allowing it to remain upright even without a rider . It has a series of retractable compartments in the front that Cloud stores the Fusion Swords in . Cloud ' s acquisition of the bike is covered in " On the Way to a Smile " , in which he trades for it to help with his deliveries , agreeing to the unspecified original owner to give them free food and drink for a lifetime at Tifa ' s bar . The remnants of Sephiroth ride unnamed motorcycles that have three large pipes emerge over the rear wheel and a series of other pipes that cover the vehicle otherwise ; they are not exhaust pipes and are merely aesthetics . Designer Takayuki Takeya has said he designed their motorcycles " without a face " , which gave them character , and admitted he " never really thought about what made [ it ] move . If I did , I ' d be stuck thinking about it all day . " In a scene in " Advent Children Complete " , it is shown that some type of rapid - fire guns are mounted on the sides of the wheel on the motorcycles ' front . Cloud ' s motorcycle , like the others in the film , can maneuver in an unrealistic fashion ; in one scene , Cloud , Loz , and Yazoo loop and turn around each other effortlessly , sliding and even riding backwards at times , in ways no real motorcycle possibly could without sustaining severe damage . Cloud destroys one of the remnants ' motorcycles and a second is blown up by the Turks . The motorcycle belonging to Kadaj is unaccounted for , as he abandons it before fighting Cloud one last time . " Dirge of Cerberus - Final Fantasy VII - " . Cloud rides the Fenrir during the Battle of Midgar , and other motorcycles are used by the World Regenesis Organization . Hover bikes are ridden by enemies called Pegasus Riders . " Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - " . There are two motorcycles : the Hardy - Daytona seen in " Final Fantasy VII " that is in the Shinra Building , and an unnamed model with a sidecar , the latter of which Zack uses to transport a catatonic Cloud . " Final Fantasy VII G - Bike " . In " G - Bike " , the motorcycle was at the forefront of the game . The player could chose which motorcycles to use , and customize them with Materia . " Final Fantasy VIII " . Galbadia n soldiers ride motorcycles in the Battle of the Gardens , driving them off ramps to launch onto Balamb Garden . The Galbadian motorcycles have rockets strapped to their rear wheels to help propel them . The ramps which they drive off likely have some method of launching system as well . " Final Fantasy XII " . Not a motorcycle , but a similar vehicle called a hoverbike is used by Balthier , Fran , and Vaan to make their getaway from the Royal Palace of Rabanastre . As it is disabled by the Goddess ' s Magicite , the engine gives out and the party becomes stranded in the Garamsythe Waterway . A hoverbike is also featured in a of Balthier , Ashe , and Fran . " Final Fantasy XIII " . The Shiva sisters . Stiria and Nix , in addition to being summoned into battle , can combine into a motorcycle which Snow rides . The motorcycle can perform various attacks , including Shiva ' s trademark attack , Diamond Dust . Hoverbikes also feature as a common means of transportation throughout Cocoon . In Eden , the party lands on a hoverbike racetrack , disrupting the ongoing race . " Final Fantasy XIII - 2 " . The " Final Fantasy XIII - 2 Ultimania Omega " reveals scrapped plans for an extension to Snow ' s downloadable scenario episode titled " Perpetual Battlefield " . Alongside the existing part of the episode in the Coliseum , there would have been a separate minigame in which players would play as Snow as he rode through the Archylte Steppe and the player ' s objective would have been to try and kill 30 monsters using Snow ' s skillset — which included being able to spin , drift , jump and use a water - based spell . Once this part of the DLC was scrapped , it was used as a base for the Chocobo Racing minigame in Serendipity . Snow still rides the Shiva Sisters motorcycle in one of the paradox ending s . " Final Fantasy XIV " . According to director Naoki Yoshida , Cloud ' s Fenrir motorcycle from " Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children " exists in the game as an unused mount . Since it is a grounded mount it will be too slow to make sense . If they increased its speed , it would make the other grounded mounts useless . " The Final Fantasy Legend " . The hoverbike is only usable and available while on the World of Ruins . It is acquired in Southwest Town when So - Cho lends the party his hoverbike since it ' ll help them avoid Su - Zaku ' s attack .
