I don't know what sparked your interest in motorcycles but for me it was the rides my father used to give me on his very old Yamaha dual sport. But another big reason was this guy!

Image

Now, I know from the looks of it he seems like a really dorky guy posing for no reason but that guy can transform into this guy, Masked Rider Black!

Image

He uses two different motorcycles to defeat bad guys depending on the type of monster he's facing since each motorcycle has his own attributes. His motorcycles even respond to his commands, sorta like a Night Rider motorcycle version.

Image

Image

Once he defeats all the baddies that this secret society sends after him he earns a showdown with his brother/arch-nemesis Shadow Moon.

Image

This guy eats Power Rangers for breakfast.

I'd bet money that the premise of Street Hawk was totally jocked from the Japanese Kamen Rider/Masked Rider series. Just like how the Americans bootleg every single Japanese superhero series and recycle it into some kiddie show. Street Hawk looks like a herb, Masked Rider black would lay the smackdown on that David Hasselhoff wannabe.

yeah, but street hawk had hyperthrust, so they could show gratuitous shots of the digital speedo rising, and some obviously speed up footage of a bike going down the road

Yea well, Road Sector had a retractable super-shield that when activated would allow him and Masked Rider Black to go through walls and various other structures.

Well, Battle Hopper had the ability to regenerate and repair himself after he did stuff like this.
