Dark Rider

The Dark Rider, also known as the Bike, is Shadow the Hedgehog's motorcycle. It first appeared in Shadow the Hedgehog and has appeared in the next several installments of the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Shadow the Hedgehog
The Dark Rider first appears in Shadow the Hedgehog as an unnamed vehicle. It is shown in the game's intro, where it gets destroyed, and in Lethal Highway. The bike appears to be a 2003 Harley Davidson XL1200 Custom Anniversary Edition with jet black paint, the G.U.N. symbol, and no exhaust pipes.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
The Dark Rider reappears in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), in the Radical Train and Aquatic Base stages. It also appears in New City, where it is used in Shadow's seventh Town Mission, "Motorcycle License Test". It has been completely redesigned, and is now armed with machine guns. The bike is once again unnamed.

The vehicle appears to be a 2003 Harley Davidson XL1200 Custom Anniversary Edition, albeit with design differences, a new color scheme (black, red and yellow), and double-barreled vulcan cannons.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
The Dark Rider appears once more in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing as Shadow's vehicle. It looks practically identical to its appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), but it doesn't have machine guns (probably because the vehicles in this game don't have built-in weapons). Instead of the GUN insignia, it has the Black Arms insignia on its fuel tank.

 * The Dark Rider was made into a toy for the Sonic & Sega All-Stars 3" action figure series, coming with a Shadow figure with hands especially molded so that they could wrap around the handlebars of the bike, keeping him on it.
