'''Standard bikes''',<ref name="Englishname">Alex Musa (May 30, 2014). ''There are actually two sub-categories of bike: standard and sport. Standard bikes drift similarly to every other body type. Sport bikes more or less commit to the turn during a drift, sharply cutting in the direction of the turn. ''. ''Mario Kart 8 Official Game Guide'', page 28. ''PRIMA Games''. Retrieved December 22, 2017.</ref> commonly known as '''outside drifting bikes''' or '''outward drifting bikes''', are a class of [[bike]]s that are able to drift. Introduced as just ''drift type'' (「ドリフトタイプ」) bikes in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'',<ref name="JapaneseDriftType">[http://www.21010.net/club/bn/wii/rmcj/pdf/p014_015.pdf Page 14 and 15 of the Nintendo Official Guidebook of ''Mario Kart Wii''].

Due to their ability to drift, they in general handle in a similar way to [[kart]]s since their introduction in ''Mario Kart Wii''. In both ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 8'', they can be distinguished from sport bikes by looking at the usually more upright posture of the character riding them.

Just like in ''Mario Kart Wii'', standard bikes are able to drift, but in ''Mario Kart 8'', their drifting behavior is identical to that of karts and ATVs, and much like those vehicle classes, they are able to charge Super Mini-Turbos (and Ultra Mini-Turbos in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''). In addition, players are no longer able to perform wheelies with standard bikes, although purely cosmetic wheelies are performed during mushroom and dash panel boosts. Furthermore, standard bikes generally have average-to-good handling statistics, leading to them having good to best turning capability while drifting as a consequence.<ref>Mister Wu (December 8, 2015).
