'''{{WP|Motorcycles}}''' are two-wheeled motor [[vehicles]] that have appeared in all [[Grand Theft Auto]] games with the exception of [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]. Other names and types associated to motorcycles in GTA include motorbicycle, motorbike, bike, crotch rocket, moped, and chopper.[[Quadbike| ]][[Quadbike]]s are included in this group, even though they have 4 wheels, instead of two. Motorcycles are smaller than most vehicles in the game. They are small and narrow enough to travel in places where larger vehicles normally cannot fit, and usually have much better handling and are very "nimble". Since [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the player can perform a forward [[Drive-By Shooting|drive-by]] while on any motorcycle. The downside of riding motorcycles is that, without a protective cage, the player can be [[Involuntary Ejection|ejected]] from the motorcycle during collisions and is prone to damage from gunfire. Getting busted is much easier as the cops do not have to open a door. Reversing on a motorcycle requires the character to use their feet to reverse (except for the Quadbike).

In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', the player can increase the [[Bike skill]] of [[Carl Johnson]], either through long rides on motorcycles or lessons in the [[Bike School]]. The higher the skill, the less chance Carl will fall off the motorcycle and the more responsive the motorcycle is.

NRG900-GTA4-F-front

NRG 900 from GTA IV.

Motorcycles are two-wheeled motor vehicles that have appeared in almost all Grand Theft Auto games, with the exception of Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Advance. Other names and types associated to motorcycles in GTA include motorbicycle, motorbike, bike, crotch rocket, moped and chopper. The Quadbike is included in this group, even though it has 4 wheels instead of two. Motorcycles are smaller than most vehicles in the game. They are small and narrow enough to travel in places where larger vehicles normally cannot fit, and usually have much better handling and are very "nimble". Since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the player can perform a forward drive-by while on any motorcycle. The downside of riding motorcycles is that, without a protective cage, the player can be ejected from the motorcycle during collisions and is prone to damage from gunfire. Getting busted is much easier as the cops do not have to open a door. Reversing on a motorcycle requires the character to use their feet to reverse (except for the Quadbike).

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the player can increase the Bike skill of Carl Johnson, either through long rides on motorcycles or lessons in the Bike School. The higher the skill, the less chance Carl will fall off the motorcycle and the more responsive the motorcycle is.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, The Ballad of Gay Tony, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the player character will automatically put on a helmet if left idle for a few seconds. Some mission-specific characters will wear unique helmets not seen anywhere else in the game.
