    Are you really unironically suggesting that slapping a motorcycle on unedited Pigeon Jbeam would make a better mod that with fully custom Jbeam??? Bruh

    Do you want a drive-able motorcycle or a decoration?
    Right now, there is no actual balanced motorcycle in the game that isn't a Meshlap, and the closest match to a motorcycle? The Pigeon JBeam. Since The modders take their time to make the perfect vehicle, there will need to be other options in the meantime.
    for time being, An actually usable motorcycle without taking months of Modification would be one with a pigeon JBeam.

    And I do not see any problem with unironically suggesting what I suggested, and it's 100% not better than a custom JBeam for crashes, but unless said mod fixes this balancing issue, I still think it's a good idea to slap a pigeon JBeam on a Motorcycle mesh with custom cameras until a Stable and working motorcycle mod comes out. That is, of course, unless someone decides to work on the "better mod".

    Do you have any imagination? Can you tell how it would actually drive? The Pigeon has 2 wheels in the back and a motorcycle has one, when turning it would lift one of the wheels, making the motorcycle float, not to metion even the drivetrain differences, wheelbase, etc. There is so much wrong with this idea that I can't even comprehend how you don't see any of the obvious flaws. I could go try that myself and record a video of how bad it would be.

    You will see the problem now hopefully, I slapped the Yamaha mesh on the Pigeon Jbeam in 5 minutes and this is how it drives

    Only a sidecar motorcycle would be possible to add without major coding restructure or whatever. The way bike physics work mean that a game would have to have a whole set of new code just for them and their own handling. Long story short they do this thing called countersteering, which is insanely difficult to implement (yamaha mod is great example of this) because it also relies on human control.
    However, if they do implement it, it would have to be a sidecar motorbike. Luckily, the KMZ K-750 is my favourite motorcycle)
