The roads of Azeroth: Now with biker gangs

The only thing that really makes me wonder if these are actually Engineering mounts or not is the fact that they're distinct by faction. A nice touch, but I think that would make it the first Horde/Alliance division in the profession. I suppose dividing the bikes by Goblin and Gnomish Engineering wouldn't make them as awesome looking. They're not quite Orange County material by any means, but they're still pretty slick. Let's be honest though, some races riding these things will be hilarious. Biker Tauren? Really? I suppose I can see a Dwarf riding the Alliance bike, but a Male Draenei driving it would probably be the silliest thing I've ever seen.
Basically, what I am saying is, is that these are completely awesome no matter how absurd they may be. If you want to see the Alliance ride, check it out behind the cut.

Yes, that's right. The license plate says PWN. And don't worry, this is just a different camera angle. The basic shape and design of them both is largely identical besides the Horde/Alliance motif.

Been wondering when Engineers might get some luv from the devs; can't say a new ground mount will change any lives, but it should be worth implementing as long as its upgradeable like the 'copter.

hope it is a passenger mount too. is there really any cooler way to get around?

As a true motorcycle fan, I'll say these look awesome. Epically if they make some cool sound effect when they accelerate and give, say, a 300% speed increase!
As much as engineers deserve these mounts, I hope they are either not BoP or there are other options to get them!

Ok, the motorcycles look awesome, engineers potentially getting some love is a good thing, etc. BUT... am disappointed in the lack of creative thinking here - the flying machine (for example) comes from Warcraft lore and is 'believable' in it's steampunk'ish nature. This motorcycle just looks like a motorcycle. Check out http://www.crabfu.com/steamtoys/diy_steampunk/ and you'll see some great examples of what folks can come up with that would fit the genre.

Designed and built in 1885.

WoW isn't steampunk. It's wedonotgiveadamnpunk.
Frank Jul 21st 2008 2:56PM
edboy clearly doesn't understand steampunk. WoW definitely IS steampunk.

Aw, I was hoping the Alliance one would be a bit more of a swooping design, more curves and stuff. Less Harley and more BMW/Kawasaki
Sirg Jul 20th 2008 3:57PM
All I can say is: LMAO
My alt is a gnome engineer, I can imagine him riding this with a bad attitude LOL
Can you fit a Tauren in the side seat? :))

More info on this....PLEASE!!??!!??
Sym Jul 20th 2008 4:19PM
utterly rediculous. I thought we getting back to the fantasy side of things. motorcycles are not even remotely appropriate for this setting.
Jeenome Jul 20th 2008 4:28PM
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. Yes, its very cool looking but so not WoW-y.
