The Flame Runner (Bowser Bike in Europe and Australia) is a large-sized bike which appears in Mario Kart Wii from the Mario Kart series. It is, as the name suggests, a bike resembling The giant turtle.
It has good speed and weight, along with good drifting and mini-turbo. However, the bike suffers from the worst acceleration of all bikes, and its handling and off-road are also rather low.
On a side note, the Flame Runner is one of the top three bikes used in many Time Trials along with the Bullet Bike and Mach Bike.
The kart counterpart for this bike is the Flame Flyer.
