'''[[wp:Motorcycle|Motorcycles]]''' are two-wheeled motor [[vehicles]] that have appeared in all [[Grand Theft Auto]] games except [[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. 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. 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 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 motorcycles requires the character to use its feet to reverse, much slower than cars.

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.

Wikipedia has an article on: Motorcycles

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 quad bikes, as well as trikes, are included in this group, even though they have four and three wheels, respectively, instead of two. The Oppressor Mk II is also included on the list, even though it features no wheels and it can only be used in the hover/flying mode. 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.

Players in Grand Theft Auto Online will also be able to wield specific weapons while riding a motorcycle, ones which wouldn't normally be usable while Drive-By Shooting in cars. This includes the SMG, SMG Mk II, the Sawed-Off Shotgun, Double Barrel Shotgun, Sweeper Shotgun, Compact Rifle, and the Compact Grenade Launcher.
