    Please for the love of god remove the motorbike from the game, it's actually so useless and I hate using it. Plus NONE of the other vehicle types even have wheels. INSTEAD turn the motorbike into a nice, nimble HoverBike, this will solve everyone's dislike for the motorbike. It's simple and easy.

    I would consider it too if not everyone who wants to remove it would use such a 'colorful' language....:rolleyes:

    Btw., the Bike stays...for now;).

    I find the bike useful. I would prefer a better bike, of course, but it is useful.
    Why remove it without replacing it with something better? If you don't like it, don't use it, or suggest an alternative. :D

    I did suggest an alternative... a hoverbike lol. Kind of like HV's having hover mechanics. It could be a lightweight nimble hover bike.

    The Motorbike must stay! It is a running gag with tradition in EGS. In the Scoreboard (B) there should be a column "Used Motorbike", like "Deaths" :D I also hate it, but I'm grateful to have it, when I really need it!

    The bike wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t turn like triple decker truck

    "Reforged Eden" has a deployable hover bike. I tried it out by placing it in my inventory, and then deployed it.
    Great! :D
    Then I tried to retrieve it.
    ???? :confused:
    Apparently, it's a one time deployment.
    After that, you either leave it as is or disassemble it.
    !%&@#! :(

    Before the motorbike is deleted, another form of extended portable transportation needs to be provided. Frankly, a back-packable hoverbike seems a bit of a stretch, but I'm okay with that. This is SCI-FI after all.

    My preference is an enhanced jetpack. I'm thinking it could be like the original Bell jetpack that had a flight time of about 30 seconds. This could get you away from danger or allow you to hover a moment to tke better aim (I'm thinking spiders here).

    Some (many?) will say it would eliminate the need for one thing or another.
    Bollocks!
    Nothing eliminates the need for anything. It's an option. In my mind, a desirable option.
    That's all I have on this matter.
