Motorcycles are an interesting niche in the workshop, and they are certainly quite interesting. Today, we will give our opinions on 12 of them so that you can know which one to drive for yourself.
The "Working Bike" from Noxious is nothing too special, and looks much like a generic motorcycle you would see on the road. However, it's notable for pioneering the stabilization technique used on recent bikes, probably most notably on the GMI lineup of bikes.
Probably the most extensive collections of motorcycles as of now, GMI sure has a lot to offer. However, we found that they weren't the best at turning, and a lot of them lacked in speed, though they definitely were some of the best looking ones. Notable ones in this collection include the Beetle, which we liked for its increased stability and protection over the others. The Sport Motorbike is also somewhat notable, being faster than the others. Finally, the Café Racer seems to combine a decent mix of speed and stability, so if you're picking out one of the bikes from the collection these 3 would probably be our suggestions.
A replica of a Czechoslovakian motorcycle, the Jawa is a decently looking bike that's pretty fun to drive. You can also get it with a side car if you so wish, however we found that the sidecar could upset the motorcycle's balance a bit, so it might not be the best option for safety minded consumers.
A weirder entry on our list, the Scooter is not the most practical vehicle but is still quite fun as a joyride vehicle. It might be slow, but it's more nimble and responsive than most motorcycles and a lot more stable, making it a safe and efficient way of traveling short distances if ever needed.
The Prowler is another bike based off Noxious's balancing system, and it does it extremely well in our opinion. It steers pretty well (though a bit wobbly at high speeds) and can corner without falling over, all while having plenty of speed for straights. This motorcycle is definitely highly recommended by us, and you can expect to have some fun high speed driving in it. (watch out for wheelbounce).
The smallest bikes on this list, the ZP 15 and ZP 20 are small and fairly nimble, perfect when you need a smaller vehicle to go along with your main vehicle, that you can easily transport anywhere. Although they are slow, and use an older stabilisation system, which, by the way does still work good but sacrifices some speed, the 2 are still very nice bikes to have around if size is key.
That's all for the review, I hope this has helped you form some opinions on the selection of motorcycles and also helped you make spart choices when selecting your next ride.
