So you've got a mean, dangerous setting. Police Are Useless, and usually corrupt. Half the time the place is enveloped in smoke, smog, and moral degeneracy. Violent thugs rule the streets, and you would have to be crazy to even leave your house at night if you had even the slightest excuse not to. Only one type of badass character can move around with confidence in these parts. He's got a surly attitude, a longcoat or leather jacket, shades, and (optional) cigarette clenched in his jaw. But what really sells it is the Cool Bike: big, shiny chrome accessories, and a growling engine. Enter the Badass Biker. Popularized by the Marlon Brando movie The Wild One and the James Dean movie Rebel Without a Cause, the Badass Biker is the epitome of the viciously cool, tough guy. Whether they are traveling through the desert, film noir's rainy city streets, a coastal road, or up a wall, this character and bike combo exudes an aura of awesome that eclipses just about any other badass + vehicle combination. A universal trope, as media from America, Europe, and Japan all love to depict badass bikers. They're also surprisingly versatile, since Badass Bikers can be heroes or anti-heroes, or, in gangs, they can be villain captains or mooks. Badass bikers can even be transposed into a science fiction setting by giving them a futuristic hoverbike. A Badass Biker who is a thug or gang member usually fits into All Bikers are Hells Angels as well. Sometimes, his entrance is a Dynamic Entry. A Badass Biker might also drive while their lover hugs them tightly from behind romantically. Most of those enter Helmets Are Hardly Heroic, riding with heads fully exposed. |

RWBY A keen motorcyclist who favours biker-influenced outfits, Yang is an elite Huntress whose pride and joy is her orange-and-black motorcycle, Bumblebee. Junior's nightclub fears her because every time she rocks up on her bike, it's to cause trouble, and Neptune is impressed when she bursts through the club's blast doors, unfazed by the club's defences. When biking through Anima, she punches a bandit for hitting on her and later sacrifices her bike in battle against Adam to save Blake; In Volume 8, she field tests a new hoverbike by performing somersaults and later leads the bike chase through the mountains when Oscar is kidnapped. | |

At 17 years old, Rei Kashino from Mars (1996) is the Big Man on Campus, Lovable Jock in high school with a Delinquent streak that leads him into his fair share of fights, fights that almost always end up in a Curb-Stomp Battle in his favor. He's also a motorbike racing prodigy and has already competed in competitions against adults. His dream is to go pro and everyone who sees him race are assured once he does, he'll dominate. | |

Subverted with Morgan in Double Homework. On the one hand, she used to lead a gang, and she scares Dennis enough that he takes pains not to have her around when he’s harassing the other girls. On the other, her one foray into the crime world (to prove that her gang was for “real�) was a botched armed robbery that led to her gang breaking up and Morgan herself going to prison for a year. | |

Star Fox: 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 Star Fox: Assault. His design is still based on this in 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 Clothing Reflects Personality. | |

Death from Discworld got himself a bike in Soul Music (a "triumph", built by the Librarian) because the only thing cooler than Death the Destroyer of Worlds is Death on a bike made of bones, shiny bits, and light. It should also be noted, while we're on the subject on unbearable coolness, that he needed the bike so that he could quickly save the day by shredding out some hot licks on the guitar. In order to blackmail the universe into sparing someone's existence. He also has a rose in his teeth at the start of the ride and, knowing that you need to get the outfit right, informs the Dean that "I need your clothes". | |

Grand Theft Auto: Motorcycles make a great choice with their superior speed, ability to maneuver through heavy traffic, fit down tight alleyways or through gaps in roadblocks, and pop a wheelie while doing so... though hitting something means flying out straight into the tarmac. All the subsequent GTA games have had the bikes, but Johnny Klebitz and The Lost from Grand Theft Auto IV are the definitive men to ride them. In the first DLC episode, Johnny is the protagonist, and the gang serves as support and backup. Franklin from Grand Theft Auto 5 also qualifies for this, overlapping a bit with his driver skills. His best friend Lamar lends him a green WMC Bagger (stolen from a repo job) early in the story, which becomes his second main vehicle. Mix that with his ability to enter bullet time while in a vehicle, and you'll find yourself cruising through traffic and police chases with ease. |

Kanji, from the same game, toys with this trope a lot. On the one hand, he has the demeanor and appearance of a Badass Biker... only he was actually a sweet kid (and still is), and actually beats up biker gangs for causing too much noise for his mother. Then he plays it straight again by having a (non-motor) bike that he uses regularly and even an outfit that looks like a Japanese biker outfit... only to avert it again by being the only member of the Investigation Team to never get a motor Scooter, alongside the biker outfit being from a gang he crushed. | |

The third Robin Tim Drake was the first Robin to get a "Robincycle" which he quickly learned to use to his advantage against superpowered opponents in addition to having fun riding it. His assassin-trained successor as Robin Damian Wayne, is often seen riding a bike that a normal ten-year-old would not be able to handle. | |

The Rising: Neve was a motocross competitor and is shown performing impressive feats during flashbacks against other bikers. She often wore a long leather coat while alive and not in driving gear, being a tough young woman overall. Neve doesn't permit a little thing like being dead stop her from trying to find her killer either, and luckily for her it doesn't stop her riding. | |

The Adachi tribe from Tribe Nine is a typical Japanese Delinquent biker gang. Like the other tribes, they settle their fights by matches of Extreme Baseball, using their bikes to move quickly around the game field (they pass the motorcycles off as "baseball cleats" so the robot referees don't raise objections). They are also highly competent at the game, especially when playing on their home turf, which is a maze-like city district that visiting teams tend to get lost in. Humorously, the tribe's leader, Hyakutaro, is the only member who doesn't have a motorcycle license yet, so he rides a bicycle instead. | |

Mario Kart Wii 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 (which would be very impractical to wear on bikes) with body-clinging biker outfits. | |

Twin Peaks: James Hurley, the tough yet sensitive biker teen with a Dark and Troubled Past. He's a frequent suspect who gets hauled into jail a lot, particularly during Season 1 as he didn't have an alibi for Laura's death. However, James is a fairly heroic character, who can be counted on to stand up for what's right (unless he's too busy angsting). In Season 3, he has a fairly badass moment where he gets in a fight defending a woman from her abusive man. In a convoluted way, this facilitates the final defeat of BOB. Season 3 also introduces us to two more biker characters: Mr. C, BOB's current host body, and an Evil Doppelgänger of Agent Cooper and Wally Brando, a comedic pastiche of Marlon Brando's performance in The Wild One... played by Michael Cera. |

Priss Asagiri of Bubblegum Crisis. In at least one episode, she is seen stealing the Badass Bike, and quite possibly continues riding it in the next episode. Each Knight Saber had a bike, a "Motorslave", which transformed into a small autonomous robot (or hulking add-on battlesuit, depending on need.) So really, all four lead characters had a Badass Bike. | |

Batman: Nearly every incarnation of Batman and all incarnations of Batgirl have had a Bat-Cycle at some point. Sometimes, Nightwing would cruise the streets on a carefully customized bike. Jason Todd, The Red Hood would also count as he rides a Harley, and is constantly wearing a red helmet rather than actual hood. Finally, you have Huntress and Catwoman, both of whom frequently use them. The third Robin Tim Drake was the first Robin to get a "Robincycle" which he quickly learned to use to his advantage against superpowered opponents in addition to having fun riding it. His assassin-trained successor as Robin Damian Wayne, is often seen riding a bike that a normal ten-year-old would not be able to handle. In Batgirl (2009) Stephanie Brown, who had been riding motorcycles since the first panel she appeared in, gained a sweet new transforming bike called the "Compact" for its ability to compact itself which she used to great effect to aid her fight against the criminal element of Gotham. |

Rebuild World: The protagonist Akira gains a reputation for this. There are hunters (Private Military Contractors) known for preferring motorbikes over heavier vehicles such as tanks or Mini-Mecha, and he shows why that is. Akira, even without the assistance of his Virtual Sidekick Alpha who usually aids his movements, is able to Ramp Jump onto an assault aircraft that was attacking him. It helps to have a really technologically advanced Cool Bike. | |

The Bayonetta series has no shortage of badass biker chicks. Jeanne uses her magic to drive vertically across a cliff face in the first game, and in Bayonetta 2 she drives recklessly into oncoming traffic, just because she can! Bayonetta herself is no slouch either, in the first game she steals a motorcycle so she can shoot up some car-shaped angels on the highway, hot-wiring it by ramming her middle finger into the ignition to magically jump-start it! | |

In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Cloud gets a badass bike that comes with separate slots for each of his Fusion Swords. The vehicle can survive things that would massacre an ordinary bike. He calls it Fenrir. Sephiroth's Remnants also ride bikes that look like messes of pipes. | |

Teen Titans (2003): When vehicular travel is necessary, the Titans ride in Cyborg's Cool Car... except for Robin, who rides his own Badass Bike. In keeping with his status as Robin's Shadow Archetype, Red X has one too. (Johnny Rancid likes to think of himself as this, but even control over reality using Larry's powers doesn't make him badass.) |

The version of Ares, God of War, from Percy Jackson and the Olympians often takes the appearance of a biker due to the gods moving to America and adapting to fit their new home. What makes him a badass is that, as expected from the God of War, he is an almost unparalleled combatant (Percy does manage to knick him but only because he got a power boost from standing in the ocean). | |

When The Undertaker switched gimmicks for the first time in the WWE, he traded in his trademark Badass Longcoat for a Badass Bike to become the "American Badass". Mark Calaway, the man behind The Undertaker gimmick, is in fact a passionate motorcyclist (the American Badass character is basically Mark Calaway adapted for the world of pro wrestling). | |

Persona If you consider automatic scooters to be bikes, then the Investigation Team in Persona 4 Golden absolutely qualifies. Despite automatic scooters being tame compared to actual bikes, and especially disregarding the fact that the Investigation Team are a bunch of dorky goofballs, they're no less competent or badass as the other Badass Bikers, and in some ways, are even tougher. For example, how many people in general punch out the Japanese Goddess of Death? Kanji, from the same game, toys with this trope a lot. On the one hand, he has the demeanor and appearance of a Badass Biker... only he was actually a sweet kid (and still is), and actually beats up biker gangs for causing too much noise for his mother. Then he plays it straight again by having a (non-motor) bike that he uses regularly and even an outfit that looks like a Japanese biker outfit... only to avert it again by being the only member of the Investigation Team to never get a motor Scooter, alongside the biker outfit being from a gang he crushed. Ryuji from Persona 5 subverts this trope. Despite having a Hell-Bent for Leather outfit and a tough demeanor, he doesn't have a bike. He makes up for it for having a badass Pirate as his Persona, which evolves into Sun Wukong, the Monkey-King. The one person to play this straight, ironically, is Makoto Niijima, the Student Council President. Despite being a bit of a goody-two-shoes with some hidden anger issues, alongside a completely blushing beauty when romanced or flustered, she manages to be a badass, competent Persona-user who's Persona manifests as a nuclear-powered motorcycle based off a female Pope and later a Sumerian goddess. |

Final Fantasy: In one mission in Final Fantasy VII Cloud rides a bike. Of course, he still uses his Buster Sword. Final Fantasy XII introduces Balthier and Fran this way, coming in on a hoverbike to pull a heist on the Royal Palace. Snow, from Final Fantasy XIII, is familiar with a high-tech version of this trope, using massive Cocoonite riders that certainly give off a motorbike attitude (if not quite form). When he becomes a l'Cie, he gets the Shiva Sisters, whose Gestalt Mode is a more traditional motorcycle that spits ice out the exhaust. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Marik in Yu-Gi-Oh!; this is made somewhat more poignant by how it connects to his past, a motorcycle being the first thing he saw (on a television set) the first time he ever left his family's underground home. There's also Dartz's henchmen Valon, Rafael, and Allister, who all ride on motorcycles. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: In the future, card games will be played on motorcycles. Tetsu Ushio takes this even further in the second season. He not only uses a D-Wheel, but his deck uses monsters based on demonic bikers. Parodied in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series in "Marik's Evil Council of Doom." Shows up in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX as well, with Saiou, proving he could still be badass without a Superpowered Evil Side. Shark rides a motorcycle - or something like one - in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. (Word of God explains Shark being able to drive despite not being driving age by saying that his bike is "not a motorcycle, but a futuristic vehicle that has not been named" and will not elaborate further.) In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: Yugo comes from the Synchro Dimension, which resembles the world of 5D's, where several duelists, including him, ride motorcycles. Everyone in the Friendship Cup is required to duel on motorcycles, and they're all pretty badass.

A group of biker hooligans are the eponymous villains in Killers on Wheels. Headed by a pair of brothers from a wealthy family with too much spare time on their hands, the bikers spend the whole movie partaking in illegal street races, terrorizing a small coastal town, and chasing after women while on their bikes. | |

Natsuki Kuga from My-HiME prefers to travel by Ducati motorbike, which only adds to her mystique of being the Aloof Dark-Haired Girl of the main trio who can kick ass even without using her HiME powers. Which makes her crashing later on in the series due to Nao setting a tripwire trap across the road while Natsuki's mind is distracted by recent revelations regarding her mother intending to sell her to District One when she was a child that more shocking. | |

Warhammer 40,000: How much more badass do you get than screaming green maniacs on ramshackle scrap-metal motorbikes laden with giant machine guns? Oh yeah, that would be the Super Soldiers on giant armoured bikes the size of cars. Or the evil Super Soldiers on hell motorbikes covered in blades and skulls... or maybe the space-elf knights on flying bikes with laser lances... or the evil space elves that can fly their bladed flying death bikes with enough skill to cut specific arteries. The Orks have legendary bikerboy Wazdakka Gutsmek, who never, ever gets off his bike except to tinker with it, and never sleeps thanks to a special brew the Mad Doks make for him. His goal is to create a network of warp gates and such so that he and his army can ride from one end of the galaxy to another. He has a chainsaw hand and equipped his bike with cannons that can stop a tank in its tracks. He once killed a Warlord Titan by driving off a cliff, punching through its void shields, crash-landing in the thing's head, and slaughtering the crew. While on fire. Doomrider◊. A demon price/chaos lord from older editions has become a meme with 40k fans. Now mind you cocaine is bad, but when you are the demon god-thing of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll's favored demon prince biker of badassitude, cocaine is the weakest drug in your veins. This is the White Scars Space Marines' entire schtick. They're pretty much Mongols on armoured bikes with machine guns. The Adeptus Custodes get their share of anti-gravity jetbikes, which are naturally as devastating as anything the Custodes usually field, if not more. Most bikes don't have a tank-melting BFG mounted at the front, but it wouldn't be a proper Custodian vehicle without ludicrous armament like that. About the only people without badass bikes are the Tau (who go with battlesuits for their badassery), the Tyranids (who are a Horde of Alien Locusts), the Imperial Guard (who actually get badass riders...seriously, they have a horse-mounted cavalry unit), and the Adeptus Mechanicus (who favour fire-breathing steampunk robot horse-dogs over bikes), although in the latter case, the Kataphron servitorsnote lobotomized cyborgs on tank treads are, as of 9th edition, classed as bikers in the game rules. Cadian Rough Riders ride choppers. Yes, 40k has a unit of badass normals, riding big bikes around in combat and charging people on them so they can stab them with explosive-tipped lances. |

Shadowrun has go-gangs: themed gangs of motorcycle riders. They range from the Halloweeners, which are basically poorly equipped Mooks, to the Ancients, an all-elven gang that rivals some military forces in terms of training and equipment. And then there's the Spikes, an all-troll gang that makes up for their lack of training or discipline by being Ax-Crazy. | |

"Born to Be Wild", originally performed by Steppenwolf is told from the point of view of such a biker. Thesong is often invoked in both popular and counter culture to denote a biker appearance or attitude.

Easy Rider centers around two of them, Captain America and Billy, with the iconic opening credits having them just riding and looking cool as "Born to be Wild" plays. The film is also something of a subversion. While the main characters don't have a problem breaking the law (they survive by running illegal drugs), they're mild-mannered hippies who generally try to avoid serious trouble. | |

Spike picked up a motorcycle from a Badass Biker Demon at the beginning of Season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and kept it until the end of the series (though he seldom used it, it was certainly badass). Wesley tried to become this as a rogue demon hunter on Angel, but didn't pull it off too well. |

Snow, from Final Fantasy XIII, is familiar with a high-tech version of this trope, using massive Cocoonite riders that certainly give off a motorbike attitude (if not quite form). When he becomes a l'Cie, he gets the Shiva Sisters, whose Gestalt Mode is a more traditional motorcycle that spits ice out the exhaust. | |

Shadow the Hedgehog 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 the Archie 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 Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), and it's his vehicle in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. | |

Also a Badass Adorable: her helmet has kitty ears! There's also Kinnosuke Kuzuhara, who isn't too notable other than the fact that he's just a Meddlesome Patrolman, but he's the one that gave Celty her fear of cops. The Light Novels later introduce Vorona and Chikage. |

Some Transformers, such as Thrust from Beast Machines, Sideways from Transformers: Armada and Prowl from Transformers: Animated, take this even further... they are Badass Bikes. Oil Slick has yet to appear, but he looks the part and will likely fit the role to a T. He finally appeared. And for those who don't know, he transforms into what is essentially a heavily modded Dodge Tomahawk, the most badass mode of transportation ever conceived. Modded meaning he has a GOAT SKULL on his handlebars and spikes everywhere. Metal incarnate. He was so awesome that while he was originally intended to be toy-only, the creators thought he was so awesome that they put him in both the show and the tie-in comic. Oh, and did we mention badass bikes Prowl and Oil Slick are also ninjas? Sideways just has to get along with being a living virus and servant of an eater of worlds. Tfwiki has it that he actually is a ninja as well, though more recently he's a spaceship or a car instead of a bike. Arcee from Transformers: Prime is another badass bike-bot. |
