Due to their ability to drift, they in general handle in a similar way to [[kart]]s since their introduction in ''Mario Kart Wii''. In both ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 8'', they can be distinguished from sport bikes by the usually more upright posture of the character riding them. | Due to their ability to drift, they in general handle in a similar way to [[kart]]s since their introduction in ''Mario Kart Wii''.

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 are no longer able to 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> | 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'').

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 animations.
