Standard bike (vehicle class): Difference between revisions

'''Standard bikes''',<ref name="Englishname">Musa, Alexander (May 30, 2014). "''There are actually two sub-categories of bike: standard and sport. Standard bikes drift similarly to every other body type. Sport bikes more or less commit to the turn during a drift, sharply cutting in the direction of the turn.''"

Due to their ability to drift, they in general handle in a similar way to [[kart]]s since their introduction in ''Mario Kart Wii''. In both ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 8'', they can be distinguished from sport bikes by looking at the usually more upright posture of the character riding them.
