Motorcycle is an unlockable entry vehicle, capable to sustain Damage measuring 5 Life Point. Its used at the start of a battle, delivering the Trooper in firing range of his equipped weapon and granting him extra Initiative. The motorcycle is fairly common, costs no Deployment Points, and doesn't take an equipment slot, making it a good addition to any trooper. The greatest effect can be achieved by utilising it for Assault or Shock Trooper tactics.
Even though motorcycle deployment boosts Initiative, enemies with this stat being heavily augmented are capable to shoot and destroy these vehicles before the driver dismounts, causing him Fall Damage.
If all of the trooper's weapons are Sabotaged, he will not deploy in range of melee, but will dismount at the edge of the battlefield with the rest of the troops. However, the trooper will still have Initiative granted to run for a few turns.
