best motorcycle driven by a kamen rider

[Galaxian]

My favorite KR bike will always be Side Basshar, at least until they show one that turns into an actual Gundam.

Still, Kiva's bike was pretty sweet.

Hibiki's bike was incredible. Especially when he rode it in Kurenai form. It was a manly bike for a manly man.

 

[The_Emperor]

My favorites are Cyclone (from THE FIRST and THE NEXT) and Machine HardBoilder.

 

[ClimaxHeroDen-O]

I'll vouch for the Machine DenBird, which apparently nobody else has

I kind of like how Skyrider's Sky Turbo had a Rider Break going on.

I also liked all of Black's bikes, Kuuga's bikes, Agito's Machine Tornador, Double's Hardboiler, and even Kiva's Machine Kivaa (shame it wasn't seen much, a cruiser style bike was intriguing).

Even Dragon and Wing Knight's transformed bikes had a great thing going on with them.

In general I was never a fan of bikes like those used in Blade, Den-O or Fourze, where it's really obvious that they took a stock dirtbike and slapped some silly replacement panels on to make it looks different. Either go the Hibiki route and just show us the most badass stock motorbike possible (I heard that design wasn't a big seller IRL, but it looks sweeeeet), or have there be something special about it. Kuuga's bikes with the Gouram pieces added (so they not only look cool but have big ramming horns), Agito's Tornador with the ability to become a hoverbike, Double's bike with the switching rear sections, even the bike mode Dragredder turned into for Ryuki Survive to rider. THOSE were the cool bikes - where they were actually trying.

However, I would like to spend a moment sticking up for an oft-maligned bike: Machine Decader. I don't really know anything about bikes, but it always seemed to me like that one was more of a long-distance cruiser, which is IMO a perfectly appropriate choice for a Rider whose entire story was about being on an endless journey. I know I just said I wasn't a fan of lightly disguised stock bikes (having just spent two minutes on Google, I'm guessing Decader is a dressed up Honda DN-01, which was indeed apparently set up for long distance cruising) but just the fact that they thought more about it than simply giving Decade yet another offroader means they earned some points back with this one.

I kind of like how Skyrider's Sky Turbo had a Rider Break going on.

I heard an anecdote that said that was entirely accidental. The actor playing Hiroshi didn't know how to ride a bike before the series started, and during the filming of an early episode he couldn't stop in time and crashed through the wall of a set. They saw how much damage it had done and it inspired them to incorporate it as an actual attack, or so the story goes. :sweat:

I have a serious softspot for the TryChaser and BeatChaser. I had to seriously stop myself from cheering the first time Gouram attached....so cool. I will own that Kiwami Tamashii I swear it.

But a close second place goes to Hibiki's awesome manly bike. He may not have known how to ride it, but it still fit him like a glove.
