Should articles for Standard bikes and Sport bikes be created?
Since Mario Kart 8, there is a clear distinction between Standard bikes and Sport bikes, both in the game's menu (they have different icons) and in gameplay (they clearly play very differently both in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8, to the point that exploits that worked with outside drifting vehicles in the latter game don't work at all with Sport bikes). Since both types now also have an official English name, should we consider creating separate pages for both?

As a further question, the PRIMA guide of Mario Kart 8 doesn't use the inside drifting term at all, and the Nintendo Official Guidebook of Mario Kart Wii uses the drift type (「ドリフトタイプ」) term for outside drifting vehicles and the hang-on type (「ハングオンタイプ」) term for inside drifting vehicles, which effectively better reflect the fact that inside drifting vehicles don't drift at all, rather lean toward the inside of the turn. Could someone with the PRIMA guide of Mario Kart Wii check if outside drifting and inside drifting are stemming from there or if they are completely made up by the competitive Mario Kart community?--Mister Wu (talk) 10:45, 30 January 2018 (EST)
 * You should ask the same for the karts and ATVs first. 12:52, 30 January 2018 (EST)
 * I think you're missing the point. Karts and ATVs are already covered on separate pages on the wiki, what I'm talking about is that standard bikes and sport bikes don't have separate articles despite now being distinguished on all levels since Mario Kart 8 (and from a gameplay point of view since Mario Kart Wii).--Mister Wu (talk) 13:19, 30 January 2018 (EST)
 * Also, Karts and ATVs don't have this sort of distinction between them. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:22, 30 January 2018 (EST)
 * We could keep the general bike page and create a page on Standard and Sport bikes as "subspecies" of bikes that specifies their differences. 14:15, 30 January 2018 (EST)
