When you choose a motorbike, you accept that you may fall down - that is literally the nature of riding a motorbike. The solution is to learn not to fall down in the first place and to avoid contact with other moving objects (including other motorbikes). When do you see IRL police bikes ever making contact? They don't because they don't want to fall off.

Same principle as I've mentioned above. If you choose a car, you would not have to worry about falling down and losing a chase. Why should motorbikes get a second chance over COPs in a car, just because they've decided to opt for something as light as a feather? It's called bad decision making from the outset.

I don't really see the point. You don't see UF1s getting more money because they've busted an FZ5.

I think everyone would benefit from it.

You do not have to become a COP to learn to ride a motorbike well.


To reiterate, it's a motorbike. It's less practical, it's less stable and it will fall down easily which will take time to get back up (similarly to car a recovering from a crash/spinning out). If a player is struggling to come to terms with that, then they should choose a car.
