Bikes

*"Every MotorStorm festival's essential are the bikes, they're definitely weak, but also the most agile, have the best maneuverability and are the fastest off the line. However, because of their lightweight build, they definitely can't get filthy with the big boys without slipping, sliding and eventually getting mauled. The trick to winning on a bike is to stay high and dry, as well as staying at least ten seconds ahead of the rest of the pack, while punching and kicking all the other motorcycle riders off their bike before they can do the same to you!"*
*- Nevada Nitro Garage Description*
*"Lightweight and agile, the bike is virtually unmatched in terms a turning radius and off the line acceleration are the bikes. Don't be fooled, they are still the smallest and weakest vehicle on any grid, but as long as you stay high and dry while avoiding everyone on the track, and ahead of the pack, you'll be fine. However, the rivalry between buggy drivers and bike riders have changed, since we've decided to allow bikers to punch buggy drivers out of their vehicle, despite that takes a high degree of luck, and lightning reflexes, since you have half of a second to punch the buggy driver while they're taunting you before they lean back into their buggy and eventually ram you to your demise."*
*"Just like any other motorcycle class, the key to winning on one of these is to stay ten seconds ahead of the pack at all times, and do not stop or go to the rougher terrains under any circumstances whatsoever, as they'll slow you down, and you'll end up just like the rest of the unlucky bikers who've been mauled by the bigger vehicles. Just remember to knock the other bikers off their bikes, or whatever they're riding, and you'll be home free!"*
*- Return to the Wild Description.*
*"The bikes have returned, with a new option on turning the tables on the bigger classes, which is that the riders can now land on anything smaller than a mud plugger and stomp the window in and cause the bigger vehicle to spin out of control. Yes, they're still unrivalled in terms of off the line acceleration and maneuverability, buuuuuut, they're still the weakest of all of the vehicles, so that means if anything that isn't a buggy rams you, you're basically screwed and should be ready to meet the reaper. However, all of that can be avoided by avoiding the heavier opposition and staying ahead of the pack. Surprisingly, they're not too bad in snow or on ice, since they can easily skim through those terrains, thanks to their light weight build and suspension that keeps phenomenal contact with any surface that isn't mud."*

*- Untamed Tundra description.*
*"Ahhh the bikes, the lightest and most maneuverable class in the festival. They have a respectable jumping distance, and a good ability to avoid attacks from all of their heavier rivals. However, they definitely sub par on terrains like mud or sand. When you are in the middle of the pack, try to be as far away from the other vehicles, and of course the other bikers, since anyone including the other bikers can easily wreck you, whether it's smashing you into oblivion or getting a hook to the face, you'll always want to stay away or ahead, because there's no other definitive way of surviving a race on a bike."*

*- King of the Hammers description.*
*"They're definitely happy when they're high and dry, or high up in the air, and have the most responsive maneuverability, despite they definitely don't have the most forgiving shocks or control, seeing a hard landing, whether on a hard surface or on the wrong surface can lead to you being made an example of, especially when there's other vehicles nearby, since the shocks are stiff and can easily bottom out, which will result to you losing your wheels, and possibly your life. In short, the name of the game is to stay on the high routes and avoid confrontation with anything."*

*- Transylvania Unleashed Garage Description.*
*"They can still race against any class on any track, since we have designed ledges in places where there's no hard ground for them to race on without getting absolutely disintegrated by anything that isn't a buggy. However, they definitely won't have the last laugh, since the massive and gigantic weight vehicles can easily knock the ledges over, leaving them to get repeatedly flattened and shattered. So in short since in the OTG festival, you can take any vehicle for any event, it would be wise to take the bikes for races that don't involve a whole lot of mud, and not too many vehicles bigger than bruiser weight vehicles."*
