Flame Runner

The Flame Runner, named Bowser Bike in PAL regions, is a heavy bike featured in Mario Kart Wii.
==Information==
The Flame Runner is Bowser's themed bike, because the front of the bike greatly resembles his head.
Due to its high speed, drift, and mini-turbo stats, the Flame Runner is frequently used for Time Trials, often by Funky Kong.
===Advantages===
The Flame Runner has good top speed, drifting, and mini-turbo stats, but mediocre handling and poor acceleration. It is extremely fast, but not as much so as the Spear, another heavyweight bike.
===Disadvantages===
The Flame Runner has low acceleration, which means a longer recovery time if the player is hit by an item. Despite this, the Flame Runner was still a popular choice in online play.
==NPC use==
Bowser and Dry Bowser use a Flame Runner for Bowser's Castle where Nin*Masa is raced and Bowser Castle 3 where Nin*A24 is raced.
==Trivia==
*This bike is used for the world record in many courses.
