I played some sort of all-ducati racing game at a friend's house. It was actually pretty realistic other than the characters surviving thier wrecks.

The best part is you can select 50's bikes, and they top out at 70mph. No brakes the whole race and really frustratingly long.

Good times.

I've played American Chopper, but I really don't like it.

I wish Gran Turismo would start to include bikes. Best racing game ever, hands down-> Gran Turismo 4.

Well, for those who like realism, at least. It's not the sort of game where you just hit the turbos and ride the wall for the entire race.

You've obviously never played Burnout's 1, 2, and 3. Those are the best racing games ever. No motorcycles though.

No Telesque is right... GT4 is the BEST racing game ever. pretty much as real as it gets. :D

Actually, Burnout 3 is exactly what I was thinking of when I said:

GT4 doesn't reward you for hitting jumps, and you don't regain turbos for hitting flashing icons in the road (mainly because neither can be found in the game). ;)

Actually, one of my favourite racing games ever is Star Wars Ep. I: Pod Racer. :D It's not much for realism, but it's got all those nice bang 'em up qualities, plus once you hit the high-end units, just piloting the thing without blowing up at the slightest touch is a good challenge.

... Man, now I want to go out and get an old N64 just to play that again. Good times. Good times.

Oh man, I was going to mention that one too!

I used to play Road Rash all the time! There's just something about wailing on a guy with a baseball bat full of nails on a cruiser at 100 km/h that just makes you feel good about yourself. :laughing:

Ohh, and I still have my NES, so I can play Excitebike once in a while. 8)

Motocross Madness 2..... great game with pretty accurate bike physics. Ain't found anything even close to it for roadbikes though.....
