The main distinguishing feature of sport bikes is that as soon as the player attempts to start drifting with them, they commit to the turn instead of swinging the rear wheel out like a regular kart. Furthermore, when the player tries to start drifting after landing from a jump they quickly make a sharp turn toward the inside of turn and then start committing to the turn. This latter aspect leads to them being able to take sharp turns despite their lower turning capability (angular velocity) while they commit to the turn, compared to that of [[kart]]s when they drift, and results in them having in general relatively high ''Drift'' statistics in the vehicle selection screen despite said actual low turning capability, the only exception being that of [[Dolphin Dasher]] which is given a low ''Drift'' value despite its turning capability being actually higher than that of the [[Sneakster]].

This latter aspect leads to them being able to take sharp turns despite their lower turning capability (angular velocity) while they commit to the turn, compared to that of [[kart]]s when they "drift", and results in them having in general relatively high ''Drift'' statistics in the vehicle selection screen despite said actual low turning capability, the only exception being that of [[Dolphin Dasher]] which is given a low ''Drift'' value despite its turning capability being actually higher than that of the [[Sneakster]].   


Like all the other bikes in the game, they are unable to charge [[Mini-Turbo|Super Mini-Turbo]]s, but the player can make the driver perform a wheelie to temporarily increase the driver's top speed.
