I've had this idea for some time, why shouldn't Hasbro make Vipers on motorcycles.
You could have Vipers on street-racers or even old school police Harleys. The Vipers would have a pump-action shotgun strapped to their back and would have a sidearm and a baton in a holster on the motorcycle. Then they could make Vipers on lighter motorbikes, like dirt-bikes and they could have a dirty armor, like some of the clones in Star Wars line have. Those Vipers would be something like the Biker Scouts in Star Wars, just cooler and it would be fun for customizers to customize the bikes. I also see the Vipers resemble the original Vipers with chrome faceplates but still have a different flavor to them, even if it's just a different color scheme. You will never have enough Vipers.

Cobra did have this a few years ago:
YOJOE.COM | Cobra Venom Cycle I thin kit is very much like what you are describing in terms of the driver. I think Hasbro was trying to get as many figures on a vehicle as they could, thus the sidecar.

Ok, I didn't know this, thanx for the info.
I wouldn't like to see a sidecar on those motorcycles I mentioned. The driver looks good, but I would like to see those motorbike Vipers being a bit more sleek then the original Vipers ;)

I have a plan and it involves what you are talking about and this...
CARTOON NETWORK™ GENERATOR REX™ PROVIDENCE STEALTH CYCLE™ Vehicle - Shop.Mattel.com It looks very chunky but I won't know for sure till i get to see one in person but if it looks usable then a couple of my Alley Vipers might have a new ride.

Cobra also had the coils which were motorcycle drivers that were released during the vs./ spy troops timeframe. They were in black, silver, and maroon.

But they haven't issued any cool looking motorcycles yet for those troops, they should do it now for PoC/Renegades lines, with improved Viper drivers and tons of weaponry

I had several platoons of these, they are freakin' awesome figs.. they have the one sculpted hand that works for the throttle. The VvV cycle is great, once you strip the sidecar, and strip the front windshield piece, strip the back cargo carrier, you have a wicked military dirtbike / streetbike. One version even had sound effects. There is a seller on Ebay that does the random lots of joe figs for like $20, all VvV era, his lots are always chock full of Coil figs.

I do like the idea of a "Light Motor Scout/Recon Viper" - very reminiscent of WWII era German infantry on their motorbikes, and an MG-armed sidecar.

Yes Like I said, something like the Biker Scouts from Star Wars....but still, I would also like to see more heavy armored Viper on a more powerful bike, like street racer
