When it comes to the super-cycle, there are literally dozens of cool examples: Judge Dredd’s Lawmaster, Yvonne Craig’s TV Batgirl ride, even the weird super-speed version that alternate-universe Barry Allen/Hot Pursuit drives. Heck, even Robin’s weird red police bike from the 1970s has a coolness factor about it, especially in its resemblance to Kamen Rider 1’s Cyclone, leading us to today’s shovelhead query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is very fond of the late 80s version of Ghost Rider’s flame-cycle, the giant gothic chopper with all the angles, asking: Which super-cycle is the best two-wheeled (or more, we don’t judge) heroic conveyance of all?

The Cyclone/Ride Armor from Robotech/MOSPEADA
Is Kaneda from Akira heroic enough? I’d say yes, so his red bike.
Any time that Batgirl showed up on that motorcycle in the opening credits of the 60s show, I was enthralled.
But nothing beats Pee-Wee’s Schwinn Western Flyer!
I fully agree that the original Ghost Rider chopper is still the best out there!
But for a not-too-close second, can I nominate the Speeder Bikes used by the Imperial Forces on Endor?
The Forever People’s ride which is, literally, the Super-Cycle.
