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)
