I was a little mean earlier and dropped a teaser for the new motorcycle mounts from the Wrath of the Lich King (http://www.wowinsider.com/wrath-of-the-lich-king/) beta on Ask a Beta Tester (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/09/18/ask-a-beta-tester-attunements-achievements-more-low-level-que/) earlier, so let me make it up to you all. We've put together a little gallery (http://www.wowinsider.com/photos/wrath-of-the-lich-king-motorbikes/) of the highly anticipated (by some) motorbike mounts that were officially implemented just last night, so if you're interested, go on and take a look.
They're a little buggy, they use some slightly new mechanics. They're about halfway between a mount and a siege vehicle. Your action bars don't change or anything like that, but it is definitely considered a vehicle since a passenger can hop into your sidecar. It's also not Engineering (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/engineering/) only, but I think that is so they can get extra testing done on it. It's a seriously cool mount, and one I'm pretty okay with. If Azeroth can develop helicopters, airplanes and submarines, they can build motorcycles, too.
