Standard bikes are introduced as ''drift type'' (「ドリフトタイプ」) bikes in ''Mario Kart Wii''.<ref name="JapaneseDriftType"/> They are not explicitly distinguished from sport bikes in the vehicle selection screen and as such, the player needs to look at the posture of the rider to understand whether the selected bike is a standard bike or a sport bike. All the chopper bikes ([[Wario Bike]], [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]], and [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]]) drift out while performing a manual drift, so they're categorized under the standard bike vehicle class. | Standard bikes are introduced as ''drift type'' (「ドリフトタイプ」) bikes in ''Mario Kart Wii''.<ref name="JapaneseDriftType"/> They are not explicitly distinguished from sport bikes in the vehicle selection screen and as such, the player needs to look at the posture of the rider to understand whether the selected bike is a standard bike or a sport bike.

Just like in ''Mario Kart Wii'', standard bikes are able to drift, but in ''Mario Kart 8'', their drifting behavior is identical to that of karts and ATVs, and much like those vehicle classes, they are able to charge Super Mini-Turbos (and Ultra Mini-Turbos in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''). In addition, players | Just like in ''Mario Kart Wii'', standard bikes are able to drift, but in ''Mario Kart 8'', their drifting behavior is identical to that of karts and ATVs, and much like those vehicle classes, they are able to charge Super Mini-Turbos (and Ultra Mini-Turbos in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''). In addition, players can no longer able perform wheelies with standard bikes, although purely cosmetic wheelies are performed during mushroom and dash panel boosts. Furthermore, standard bikes generally have average-to-good handling statistics, leading to them having good to best turning capability while drifting as a consequence.<ref>Mister Wu (December 8, 2015).

When riding them, the characters perform the same animations that they perform on ATVs, with the sole exception of the drifting animations. Furthermore, since CPU-controlled characters are always able to ride the [[Standard Bike]], standard bikes are the only class of bikes that are used by all CPU-controlled characters in both ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. | When riding them, the characters perform the same animations that they perform on ATVs, with the sole exception of the drifting and idle animations, which are somewhat different.
