I want some badass riding music when I'm hauling down the straights on my 14R, heading into the corner at 120 mph, hitting it hard, leaning my bike waaaaaaay over, almost horizontal, dragging my knee on the ground like a stud, then as soon as I start to pull out of the corner proceeding to twist my wrist back just a little bit to jettison almost instantly up to 180 plus mph on the next straight.

And I'm not talking everyday radio music. I googled "motorcycle riding music" on youtube, and what I got was just some pop songs that I already knew about. Or junk. What I'm looking for is a type of music like in this video:


Can you guys tell what I'm talking about based on that music? Instrumental, beats, happening, fast paced at least a little, the kind of shit when you get on your bike and are about to go close to 200 mph that you want to be listening to to pump you up and just make you have more fun. Is there even a category for this music? I tried googling techno, trance, and some others and none of them really hit the mark.

Thanks for any suggestions, either specific songs or what not or whatever category or categories might cover this!!!

Hell, I guess you can claim your motorcycle time in a video game...

Try not to die, dumbshit.

I mean...you're a donor, right? You fucking better be.


...I think those were ZZ Top's first two tracks that they recorded, right?

Um, Ejection by Hawkwind comes to mind.

For banging motorcycle music nothing beats Sailcat's Motorcycle Mama.

speaking of thumping

the lyrics of "tubthumping" may be particularly relevant to your future experiences

Can't believe a motorcycle music thread doesn't have "Born to be Wild".


Torn Mind, thanks for that. That is the PERFECT song. Only, for something I was not asking for. That is the perfect song for someone sitting on some fat chopper about to set out on a track across the United States. Literally, perfect for that. But like I said in my OP, I'm looking for happening songs to be pumping me up when I'm on the road/track speeding my ass off, taking corners over 100 mph, etc. etc.

Thanks!!!

That is a good song Brian. A great song, I stand corrected. One of my favorite songs actually. But still, can you not tell how it differs form the song in the video in my OP? It is a night and day difference. I want something HARD. And almost certainly mainly instrumental. Just because those songs almost never have singing. Is there not a type of music it is I am looking for? Anyone know?

Thanks!!!

No. That is just some big hair band type rock song. Not what I am looking for at all. But I appreciate it, thanks!!!

Welcome... I certainly won't insist on it, of course! Here's why I used it as a motorcycle tune:


More in keeping with the theme from the video... a classic might be Junkie XL's "Metrolike:"
