Varmint

The Varmint is an unlockable bike body that appears in Mario Kart 8. It is an all-terrain motorcycle that appears to be a bike version of Mario Kart 7's Bolt Buggy and the Pipe Frame, appearance-wise. Unlike the Pipe Frame, the bike has a four-stroke engine and its engine sound is a higher-pitched version of The Duke.

It shares its stats with the Standard Bike, Pipe Frame, Flame Rider, Wild Wiggler, W 25 Silver Arrow, and City Tripper.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Daisy, Wario, and Donkey Kong can be seen riding this with the Hot Monster tires on occasion. Wendy O. Koopa and Tanooki Mario also ride the Varmit, but equip it with the Standard and Monster tires instead, respectively.
