'''[[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. It can fit through traffic and alleyways more easily than larger vehicles. Since [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the player can shoot forward while on any motorcycle. The downside of riding motorcycles is that the player can fall off it if the player collides with enough force. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], all motorcycles come with helmets.
'''[[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.

==Advantages==
In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], the player character will automatically put on a helmet if given time to do so. Some mission-specific characters will wear unique helmets not seen anywhere else in the game.
*They are fast and more controllable than cars.
*They fit through narrow spaces and can zip through alleyways.
*They're good in [[Drive-By Shooting|drive-by]]s as the rider can shoot forwards.
*Easier to steal.
*Excellent for stunting.
 
==Disadvantages==
*You will fall off if you hit something with sufficient force. Furthermore, you will usually be launched off the bike, taking large amounts of damage upon impact.
*Likely prone to be shot as you have no protection at the front, back, and sides. (Some bikes offer thin glass protection from the front.)
*The character can easily get [[busted]], especially with slow motorcycles.
*May be hard to control on grass or dirt (especially when it rains), except for off-road motorcycles.
*Motorcycles are backed up very slowly.
