* ''VideoGame/MarioKartWii'' added bikes to the series. Of course, in this case, the badassness depends on the rider: ones like Baby Peach or Baby Daisy can't really pull it off, but Bowser or even ''Dry'' Bowser? Heck yeah!

In addition, when Peach (as well as her metallic variant Pink Gold Peach), Daisy, Rosalina and Pauline use bikes, they replace their usual dresses ([[JustifiedTrope which would be very impractical to wear on bikes]]) with body-clinging biker outfits.

* ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' has the title character getting a bike so the {{Badbutt}} can enter this trope too, as he is otherwise capable of running to supersonic speeds (when Amy points this in [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics the comics]], Shadow explains that all G.U.N. agents must be issued with a vehicle, and he immediately liked the motorcycle enough to customize it). He still rides it in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', and it's his vehicle in ''VideoGame/SonicAndSegaAllStarsRacing''.
* ''VideoGame/{{StarCraft|I}}'': Jim Raynor, who already has one or two entries in badass, rides a souped-up Vulture hoverbike as his primary vehicle.
* ''VideoGame/StarFox''. Wolf O'Donnell. While he doesn't actually own a bike—he pilots a Wolfen—he does fit the trope in terms of his design and personality. The former because he wears the black leather attire that is standard for the trope in ''[[VideoGame/StarFoxAssault Star Fox Assault]]''. His design is still based on this in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', but it goes a step further by giving him at least one accessory traditionally associated with the biker motif, including a chain that connects to the belt around his waist and to the holster for his blaster which, other than making a clanking noise when he lands on a platform, serves absolutely no purpose other than to illustrate that he's a big, bad tough guy because ClothingReflectsPersonality.
* ''VideoGame/StreetFighter5'': Juri Han, who debuted in Super Street Fighter 4, rides and stunts around on a bike, somehow driving from Brazil to London on one. Her reveal trailer for Street Fighter 6 has her enter on a bike and do a side slide before dismounting and taking to the fight.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' series has quite a few of these characters.
