I've been playing with the motorcycle mount but i've really gotta say it's the most overpowered mount in the game.
I didn't even want one at first just because I prefer riding one my bird god mount, but after seeing the motorcycle in action, it's hard to want anything else.
It has nothing to do with "coolness", this quite literally is the best mount in the game.
First of all, you cannot be dazed/dismounted off of this thing. Thats a major plus by it's self. You can't even be force dismounted via polymorph.
Secondly, you take NO FALL DAMAGE in this thing. The motorcycle has it's own hitpoints which eat fall damage then regenerate at a very fast rate. If you fall from a high enough distance to kill the motorcycle (i fell from 200 yards), you still jump out of it unharmed when it dies and you simply make a new one.
Thirdly, it's really hard to target people driving this thing. In pvp, you end up targeting and attacking the bike, not the players. That is extremely frustrating.
I don't even know if things like Judgement of Justice or snares work on people in these bikes, I kind of doubt it considering the mechanics.
Now in the grand scheme of things, you can work around all this and none of it "really" matters I suppose but the fact is, people with this mount have a clear, definitive advantage over those who don't.
EDIT: It can carry flags in warsong gulch.
