Both are 2/10. Really cheap and crappy looking. (also Tackle doesn't count as a Rider but her bike counts as a Rider Machine?) 3/10. Not much to say except the front looks too big. V-Machine/V-Jet: 7/10. Solid bikes if basically just normal police bikes, but they look cool. Blue version: 4/10. Just plain. Rider Machines, IMO, didn't really get interesting until Battle Hopper. These early Showa bikes are just... largely nothing if I'm honest. :/
Dude, you forgot the Z-bringer and J-crosser! The Z-bringer especially is notable as the first "ninjabike" of Kamen Rider. I literally cannot care/10. Now we're getting into the good shit. Battle Hopper: 7/10. It's a classy, simple design, and while a bit cheesy, it fits Black perfectly. It's not amazing, but the fact that it's not trying to be a spaceship and is an actual character elevates it. Road Sector: 3/10. Just a junky, useless design that was a poor replacement for Battle Hopper to hock toys. There's a reason it's often forgotten. Acrobatter: 7/10. Not as classy as Battle Hopper, but also not as boring. The pipes are a nice callback to the original while still be streamlined and simple like BH. I actually like the "face" more but the body is a bit more toy-is. He can also speak now which is cool. Roboizer/Macjabber: 5/10. Weird designs to me, in that they're technically different but IMO feel identical. Weird that they didn't give more variation especially considering how different from Acrobatter they are. Much like Road Sector they're often forgotten and for good reason. Ridoron: The first car Rider Machine and it's okay? 5/10 as well I guess? It's kind goofy but still kinda cool in a cheesy retro way? I dunno, it's surprisingly not something I have much of an opinion on. Forgotten and ignored because it wasn't Battle Hopper.
Unofficial Shin’s bike count it’s that he never ride it in his rider form (despite the 40th anniversary poster).
Same. Battle Hopper is an 8/10, Road Sector and Acrobatter are 7s, the other two Rx bikes are 5s. Z is an 8 and J is a 7. Oh, the car is... 5.
Oh yes Black's bikes are my favorites! BattleHopper - 5/5, I like the unique angle of this bike, details like the legs and those ridges on the underside almost makes it look like an organic being turned into a mechanical bike. I also like that since Black almost strays from looking like a grasshopper, his bike takes the role instead. Road Sector - 4/5, other than to sell another bike to kids I think this is also a way to homage past rider bikes with how it's colored and mechanical look. I quite like this gimmicky bike mainly cause of nostalgia and it gives Black options in battle, the song that usually accompanied this bike is cool too. Acrobatter - 5/5, it looks less organic compared to BattleHopper and more in line with traditional Rider Machines but the paintjob and still unique angle elevates it for me. I'm surprised how well RX goes with a bike that doesn't even share his colors. Roboizer & Macjabber - 3/5, it's really hard to tell this two apart even with their different eyes so I'm giving them the same score. While I think it's cool that the bike changes with the Rider, they never really get a good spotlight. I think Roboizer was used maybe twice and Macjabber only appeared in its debut episode? Ridoron -4/5, this is a cool car, the first Rider car I believe. Everytime I see this thing in the opening I kept thinking about James Bond's car. It's based on an ant probably which is unique since I don't see them used a lot. Z-Bringer - 4/5, I like the look and colors of this thing, wouldn't want to be in the way when it speeds up. J-Crosser - 4/5, another bike that looks like a grasshopper, sweet. The yellow/gold rims and body angle are eye-catching.
Try Chaser is a 9/10 while the beetle form is a 7 due to that connector piece that holds the horns together in the front.
Trychaser 2000 - 3/5, average Trychaser 2000A - 3/5, I like the police look Beatchaser 2000 - 5/5 - beautiful color Gouram forms - 4/5, I do like the menacing stag look. Machine Tornador - 5/5, one of the best heisei bike's. The colors and look of the bike is already nice but the transformation makes it even better. Pretty creative. Guard chaser - 3/5, its just a police bike. G trailer - 2/5 - well it's just a truck. Gills Raider - 4/5, cool a bug aesthetic bike. Dark Hopper - 5/5, an even cooler bug aesthetic bike.
Trychaser: 8/10. I'm not the biggest fan of dirt bikes but it's one of the best. Doesn't look cheap or slapped together. Trygouram: 8/10. Funny how the base model and shape of the bike changes with the armour. Honestly for what should be a gimmicky toy thing, it looks great. It'd be even better if the gouram legs/boosters weren't there. Machine Tornador: 9/10. One of the best bikes of the franchise. Simple, elegant, compliments the Rider perfectly. Hope it's the next FRS Rider Machine. Guard Chaser: 9/10. Again, compliments the Rider perfectly, and I love how the three main riders each use a different style of bike that fits them. G-Trailer: Hard to even call this a Rider Machine. It's not like G3 ever drove it to my knowledge. I guess it looks like what it's supposed to. 6/10? Gills Raider: 7/10. Again, not bad for a dirt bike. Dark Hopper: 5/10. Feels a little hokey with the larger front fairing and little grasshopper legs on the back. Considering how cool, threatening, and well-designed Another Agito is, his bike is kind of goofy.
